Lyrics: Kelly Gordon/Dean Kay Thompson Music: Kelly Gordon/Dean Kay Thompson That's life That's why 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 in June I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks, stomping on a dream But I don't let it,let it get me down cause this fine old world.It keeps spinning 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 pick myself up and get back in the race That's life, I tell you 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 jump and ride a big bird and then I 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 laying flat on my face, I just 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 of cutting out but my heart won't buy it But if there's nothing shaking come this here July,I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
