Willie Nelson — Thats 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'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 [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
