So I'm down and so I'm outnBut so are many others.nSo I feel like tryin' to hidenMy head 'neath these covers.nLife is like the seasons,nAfter winter comes the spring.nSo I'll keep this smile awhilenAnd see what tomorrow brings.nnI've been told and I believenThat life is meant for livin'.nSo even when my chips are lownThere's still some left for givin'.nI've been many placesnMaybe not as far as you.nSo I think I'll stay awhilenAnd see if some dreams come true.nnThere isn't much that I have learnednThrough all my foolish yearsnExcept that life keeps running in cycles.nFirst there's laughter, then those tears.nnBut I'll keep my head up highnAlthough I'm kind of tired.nMy gal just up and left last weeknAnd Friday I got fired.nYou know, it's almost funnynBut things can't get worse than now.nSo I'll keep on tryin' to singnBut please, just don't ask me how.
