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 JuneI 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' aroundI'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 raceThat'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 flyI'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 raceThat's life
(That's life)
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out
But my heart just 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 dieMy, my
