-----------------------------------------
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'
And 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 runnin'
in cycles
First there's laughter, then
those tears
But I'll keep my head up high
Although I'm kinda tired
My gal just up and left last
week
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
