"That's Life" lyrics

Oh, yeah. Tell 'em, boys

I say, "That's life."
That's what all my fella's say
We're riding high in April, shot down in May
I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I say that's life
Funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stomping on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this big old MAINE, 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've 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 cutting out, but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shaking, come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up
In a big ball and die
My, my
