Alice Peacock - Real Life lyrics

Met her at the high school dance Down at the Aragon He 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 LA Not 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 know Baby this is real life Yeah I'm doin' just fine Real life, real life alright
