That's Life

(专辑： Swing When You're Winning - 2001)

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 funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stepping on a dream
But I don't ever let it get me down
'Cause this fun old world keeps spinning 'round

I've been a puppet, a pauper, 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 falling flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, and I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd lie

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

That's life, that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought I'd cut it out
But my heart won't buy it
And if there's nothing shaking from this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
