That’s What It Is Songtext
von Bachman & Turner

Goin′ down life"s highway*
Sometimes you get lost
Hurryin' to nowhere
You forget what you forgot

Lookin′ for a miracle,
Following a dream
You get knocked down you get back up
But that"s no guarantee
You got it fixed

That's what it is
Things ain't never gonna change
That"s what it is
When you get into the game
That"s what it is, n-not what it ain′t
D-do what you can, n-not what you can′t
You gotta make the pieces fit
If that's what it is
That′s what it is


Where are we going?
Why are we here?
We ask of the same questions
But the answer's never clear
Life is just a gamble
You gotta roll the dice
You gotta dance with lady luck
And if you don′t get it right
You take the hit

That's what it is
Things ain′t never gonna change
That's what it is
When you get into the game
That's what it is, n-not what it ain′t
D-do what you can, n-not what you can′t
It's all hit and miss
Th-that′s what it is

That's what it is, baby -
Take the hit!


That′s what it is
Things ain't never gonna change
That′s what it is
So just learn to play the game
That's what it is
Things ain't never gonna change
That′s what it is
When you get into the game
That′s what it is
Things ain't never gonna change
That′s what it is
When you get into the game
That's what it is
Things ain′t never gonna change
