That's Life

That's life (that's life),

that's what all the people say You're ridin' 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 you 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 nothin' shakin' come this here July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die My,

my!
