Met her at the high school dance |
|
Down at the |
|
AragonHe was rockin' them parachute pants |
|
Leather high tops on |
|
Couple years later |
|
They went and got hitched by a |
|
Justice of the peace |
|
Settled down in a |
|
Minnesota town |
|
And the rest is history |
|
Baby this is real life |
|
Yeah they're doin' just fine |
|
Real life, real life alright |
|
Left home when she was 17 |
|
Got her first tattoo |
|
Never was the homecoming queen |
|
Never was that cool |
|
Now she's serving up drinks |
|
And getting new ink |
|
On the east side of |
|
LANot the choice her mama would make |
|
And she likes it that way |
|
Baby this is real life |
|
Yeah she's doin' just fine |
|
Real life, real life alright |
|
Ain't always fun, it ain't always pretty |
|
Down in the country, up in the city |
|
Everybody's different but one thing's true |
|
We all gotta' do what we gotta' do |
|
So me and my gypsy heart gonna |
|
Pack up and hit the road |
|
Got a song in this ol guitar |
|
And a string of shows |
|
When that highway calls baby |
|
I'll come runnin' with my gas tank full |
|
And my six string strumming |
|
Got a few friends that'll keep on coming |
|
This is all |
|
I knowBaby this is real life |
|
Yeah I'm doin' just fine |
|
Real life, real life alright |
