Well I grew up in a real town Where the prom queen had a plastic crown And we really did just drive around Cause there wasn't sh** to do We didn't know we were real broke Daddy rolled them real smokes We drank RC, no real Coke Our neighbor had a pool We got green gra** and a few trees But it ain't like what's on TV This is real life in the real world We ain't talkin' to no models, we got real girls We get real low, we get real high It ain't all good, baby, but it's alright Real life We got a dive bar with a real band They play too loud and they're real bad But we're real bored so we still dance And we stay out way too late Hit the Waffle House for some real food But that waitress, she's real rude She got real problems, but we do too So we tip her anyway That's just the way that it is That's just the way that we live This is real life in the real world We ain't talkin' to no models, we got real girls We get real low, we get real high It ain't all good, baby, but it's alright Real life Yeah, we're lovin' real life We find real love, get real hurt Fall real hard, shake off the dirt Pray to God, let's make a deal I guess it just got real We get real low, we get real high It ain't all good, baby, but it's alright Real life This ain't no fairy tale It's real life
