That's Life

That's life, that's what all the people say
ridin' high in April, then shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top in June
that's life and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, don't let it get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out but I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life , I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart won't buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out but I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life, I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
