Lyrics Van Morrison – That’s Life

That’s life
That’s what the people say
You’re riding high in April
Shot down in May

That’s life
Funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks from stepping on a dream
I don’t let it get me down
This big old world keeps spinning round

Chorus:
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I’ve been up, down, over and out
And I know one thing
Every time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That’s life
I can’t deny it
I thought of quitting but my heart wouldn’t buy it
If I don’t think it’s worth a try
I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die

Chorus

Last verse

Bye bye
Bye bye
