I've been up & down & over & out, but I know one thing Each time I find myself, flat on this face, I pick myself up & get back in the race
That's life That's what all the people say You're riding high in April You're shot down in May I know I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top in June
I say that's life & as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks Stomping on your dreams But I don't let it, let it get me down 'Cause this fine ol' world keeps spinning 'round
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn & a king I've been up & down & over & out But I know one thing Each time I find myself, flat on this face I pick myself up & get back in the race
That's life I can't deny it I thought of quitting, baby This heart wasn't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd jump right on a big bird & then I'd fly
*repeat chorus
That's life & I can't deny it Many times I thought of cutting out But my heart won't buy it But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July I'm gonna roll x3 myself up in a big ball & die Can't deny it that's life
