Cycles

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
