That's Life

That's life, that's what people say
You're riding high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top in June

That's life, funny as it seems
Some people get their kicks
Steppin' on dreams
But I don't let it get me down
Cause this ol' word keeps getting around

Ive been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king
Ive 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 can't deny it
I thought of quitting
But my heart just wont buy it
If I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die
