That’s Life - Steve Appleton

That's life, that's what 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.
That's life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin' on dream
But I don't let it get me down,
'Cause this final word 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 can't deny it,
I thought of quitting,baby
But my heart just won't buy it.
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 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 quitting
But my heart just won't buy it.
If I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball
And i'm my mine
