That’s Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 their tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said, "That's life"
And as fun as it may seem
Some people get a big ol' kick out of stompin' on dream
But I don't let it, I don't let it get me down
'Cause this old world just keeps spinnin' around

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e128895-willie_nelson~thats_life_lyrics.html ]
[Chorus]
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 lyin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
'Cause that's life

[Verse 2]
And I can't deny it
I thought of quittin', baby, yeah, but my heart just ain't gon' buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth a single try
I'd just jump on a big bird and thеn I'd fly

[Chorus]
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a piratе, 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 lyin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and I get back in the race
'Cause that's life

[Outro]
And I just can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but
My heart just ain't gon' buy it
And if nothing's shakin' around here come July
I'll just roll myself up in a big ball and die
