That's Life

That's life! (that's life!)
That's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in april and 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 say, that's life (that's life!)
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks, stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine ol' world, keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a profet, 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 kick myself back and get back in the race

That's life! (that's life!)
I tell ya, I can't deny it
I thought of quittin' baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth, a single time
Jump right on a big bird, an then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a profet, 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 lying, flat in my face
I kick myself back and get back in the race

That's life! (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 shakin' come this here july
Mmm, I tell ya
I'm gonna roll myself up, in a big ball
And die
Happy Birthday Mr. Frank
