That's Life.mid

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 been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet,
a pawn and a king.

I 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 o' quittin', 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 been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet,
a pawn and a king.

I 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 o' 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 and die.
My my.
