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 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!
