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
