So I´m down and so I´m out
But so are many others
So I feel like tryin´ to hide
My head ´neath these covers
Life is like the seasons

After winter comes the spring
So I´ll keep this smile awhile
And see what tomorrow brings

I´ve been told and I believe
That life is meant for livin´
So even when my chips are low
There´s still some left for givin´
I´ve been many places
Maybe not as far as you
So I think I´ll stay awhile
And see if some dreams come true

There isn´t much that I have learned
Through all my foolish years
Except that life keeps running in cycles
First there´s laughter, then those tears

But I´ll keep my head up high
Although I´m kind of tired
My gal just up and left last week
And Friday I got fired
You know, it´s almost funny
But things can´t get worse than now
So I´ll keep on tryin´ to sing
But please, just don´t ask me how
