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'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 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 of quitting 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've 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 of 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
