That's life
That's what all the people say
You're riding high on Monday
Shot down in May
But-a I ain't never gonna
change my tune
When I'm back on top
in the month of June
I said that's life
Ain't as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompin' on a dream
But-a 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
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 bird
and I'd 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
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 and fly
