that's life

that's life, that's what 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 ya 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 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 just won't buy it, but if there's nothin' shakin' come here this july, i'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die, my, my!
