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 a-and die
 My, my!
