That's Life

Shawn James Shawn James

That's life, that's what all the people say
You're ridin' 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

That's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let'em get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' around

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 flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart I won't buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
Well I'd hop a bomb on a big bird and then I'd fly

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 flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart I won't buy it
And if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a little ball and die

That's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let'em get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' around
