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.
