That's Life
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
