That's Life

That's life, that's life, that's what all the people say You're riding high on Monday, shot down in May But I, I ain't never gonna change my tune When I'm back on top in the month of June I said, "That's life, that's life, ain't as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks, stompin' on a dream But I, I don't never let it get me down 'Cause that big ol' world keeps spinnin' 'round" Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time that I find myself 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 quitting, babe, but my heart wouldn't buy it If I didn't think it was worth one try I'd jump right on a big bucket and fly Been a puppet, poet, pirate, pauper, now I'm a king Been up, down, I know one thing Each time that I find myself 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 quitting, babe, but my heart wouldn't buy it If I didn't think it was worth one try I'd just roll myself up in a big ball, ooh, and fly
