Lyrics:

That's life! (that's life!)
that's what all the people say,
you're ridin' high in april and 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 say, that's life (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 ol' world, keeps spinning around.

I've been a puppet, a profet, 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 kick myself back and get back in the race.

That's life! (that's life!)
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quittin' baby,
but my heart just ain't gonna buy it,
and if I didn't think it was worth, a single time,
I'd jump right on a big bird, an then I'd fly.

I've been a puppet, a profet, 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 lying, flat in my face,
I kick myself back and get back in the race.

That's life! (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 shakin' come this here july,
mmm... I tell ya,
I'm gonna roll myself up, in a big ball,
and die...

My, My...!
