That's Life

That's life (that's life)
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said, that's life (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, 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
And 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 (that's life)
I tell ya, I can't deny it I thought of quitting, baby But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird
And 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
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race That's life (that's life)
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come here this July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, my
