Lyrics of 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, 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, 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 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
