Roger Miller - That's life

That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But 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,
Stompin' on a dream
But I ain't gonna let it get me down,
'Cause this fine ol' world
will keep 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 ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think that it was
worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and 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 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 ain't gonna buy it
But if there's nothing shakin'
come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up
in a big ball and die
Bye, Bye
