So I'm down and so I'm out
But so are many others.
So I feel like tryin' to hide
My head 'neath these covers.
Life is like the seasons,
After winter comes the spring.
So I'll keep this smile awhile
And see what tomorrow brings.
I've been told and I believe
That life is meant for livin'.
So even when my chips are low
There's still some left for givin'.
I've been many places
Maybe not as far as you.
So I think I'll stay awhile
And see if some dreams come true.
There isn't much that I have learned
Through all my foolish years
Except that life keeps running in cycles.
First there's laughter, then those tears.
But I'll keep my head up high
Although I'm kind of tired.
My gal just up and left last week
And Friday I got fired.
You know, it's almost funny
But things can't get worse than now.
So I'll keep on tryin' to sing
But please, just don't ask me how.
