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 their tune When I´m back on top, back on top in June
I said, "That´s life" And as fun as it may seem Some people get a big ol´ kick out of stompin´ on dream But I don´t let it, I don´t let it get me down ´Cause this old world just keeps spinnin´ around
I´ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king I´ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time I find myself lyin´ flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race ´Cause that´s life
And I can´t deny it I thought of quittin´, baby
Yeah, but my heart just ain´t gon´ buy it And if I didn´t it was worth a single try I´d just jump on a big bird and then I´d fly
I´ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king I´ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time I find myself lyin´ flat on my face I just pick myself up and I get back in the race ´Cause that´s life
And I just can´t deny it Many times I thought of cuttin´ out but My heart just ain´t gon´ buy it And if nothing shakin´ around here come July I´ll just roll myself up in a big ball and die
