That's Life

(albüm: That's Life - 2021)

"That's life", that's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, 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 said, that's life, and as fun as it may seem
Some people get a big old kick out of stomping on a dream
But I don't let it, I don't let it get me down
'Cause this old world just keeps spinning around

I been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself lying flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

'Cause that's life and I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gon' buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth a single try
I'd just jump on a big bird and then I'd fly

I been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself lying flat on my face
I just pick myself up and I get back in the race

'Cause that's life and I just can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out, but my heart just ain't gon' buy it
And if nothing's shaking around here come July
I'll just roll myself up in a big ball and die
