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 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
