That's life, that's what the people say I'm ridin' high in April, I'm shot down in May But I know I've gotta change my tune When I get back on top in June
That's life, funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks from steppin' on a dream I won't let it get me down 'cause my head keeps spinnin' around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a peasant, a pawn and a king I've been up and down and over now and I know one thing Every time I find myself flat on my face Pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life, no, I can't deny it Lord, I thought of quitting, but my heart, my heart wouldn't buy it And if things don't stop shakin' come July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and say bye-bye

That's life, you know, you know, I can't deny it Lord, I thought of quitting, but my heart, my heart wouldn't buy it And if things don't stop shakin' by next July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball, yeah, I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball, yeah, I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and say bye-bye, see ya.
