That’s Life

[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 can change their tune
If I could ever get back on top
Back on top in June

[Verse 2]
Baby, that's life
Funny how it may seems
You know, I've seen people get their kicks
Stompin' on a dream
But I ain't gonna let that get me down
'Cause this fine old world keeps spinnin' around

[Chorus]
I've been a puppet, a pirate, a pauper, a poet
A pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And y'all, I know one thing
Each time I find myself lying flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

[Verse 3]
Well, that's life, ha-ha!
Ooh, that's life and I know it
I thought of cuttin' out a lots of timеs
But my heart just won't buy it
Oh, but if there's nothin' shakin', baby
Comе this here July
I'm gonna take a meal collection, ha-ha
Get me a plane ticket and fly
Y'all would do that for me, wouldn't ya?

[Chorus]
I've been a puppet, a pirate, a pauper, 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 on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

[Verse 4]
That's life, ha-ha!
Oh, that's life and I know it, baby
I thought of cuttin' out a lot of times
But my heart just won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
Gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
Gonna roll myself up in a big ball and just die

[Verse 5]
Oh, thank you so much
One more time, one more time, one more time, one more time
One more time, Clyde
Please, back on the drums
Gonna roll
Gonna roll myself, oh I'll tell you
Oh, y'all got me feelin' so good
Your sight is so spacious tonight
Everybody lookin' so pretty, ha-ha!
Ooh, I love this tenement slum
I'm gonna roll mys-
Folks back in Baytown, Texas wouldn't believe this, ha-ha!
Gonna roll myself up in a big ball and just die
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and just die

[Verse 6]
One more, one more time, one more time
One more time, ha-ha!
Oh, I got to get on out
Y'all got to let me get outta here, ha-ha!
Yeah, we goin' overtime
Union man ain't gonna stand for this, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Yeah, we got union rules here, oh yeah
Do it, Taylor
I got to roll myself in a big ball and just die
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, oh!
