Lyrics

[00:03.93] That's life, that's what all the people say
[00:11.73] ridin' high in April, then shot down in May
[00:17.53] But I know I'm gonna change that tune
[00:22.53] When I'm back on top in June
[00:29.93] that's life and as funny as it may seem
[00:35.43] Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
[00:40.63] But I don't let it, don't let it get me down
[00:46.63] 'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around
[00:52.03] I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
[00:58.23] I've been up and down and over and out but I know one thing
[01:04.33] Each time I find myself flat on my face
[01:09.73] I pick myself up and get back in the race
[01:16.43] That's life , I tell you I can't deny it
[01:21.93] I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart won't buy it
[01:27.93] And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
[01:33.23] I'd jump right on a big bird then I'd fly
[01:38.33] I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
[01:44.83] I've been up and down and over and out but I know one thing
[01:50.83] Each time I find myself flat on my face
[01:56.83] I just pick myself up and get back in the race
[02:03.73] That's life, I can't deny it
[02:08.53] Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
[02:14.53] But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
[02:20.23] I'm roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
