That's Life

That’s life
That’s what people say
Ridin' high in April, shot down in May
I think I’m gonna change my tune
When I’m back on top
I think that’ll be next June
Yes, that’s life
And fun as it seems,
Some people get their kicks steppin' on dreams
Me, I don’t let it get me down
'Cause this ol' world keeps goin' round and round
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 round
and I know one thing
Since I found myself flat on my face
I just got back up and got back in the race
That’s life
And I can’t deny it
I thought of quittin', but my heart wouldn’t try it
Folks, if I didn’t think life was worth a try
I’d take off like a big bird and 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 round
and I know one thing
Since I found myself flat on my face
I just got back up and got back in the race
That’s life
And you can’t deny it
I thought of quittin', but my heart wouldn’t try it
Folks, if I didn’t think life was worth a try
I would roll myself
(and I mean I would ROLL myself)
Up in a BIG ball
(you know I wouldn’t make no little ball)
And I’d die…
One more time!
Well, that’s life!
And you can’t deny it
I thought of quittin', but my heart wouldn’t try it
Folks, if I didn’t think life was worth a try
I would roll myself
Up in a BIG ball
And I’d die…
My, my…
