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!t to do

We didn't know we were real broke

Daddy rolled them real smokes

We drank rc, no real coke

But our neighbor had a pool.

We got green grass and two trees

Whoa oh oh oh oh...

But it ain't like what's on tv

Whoa oh oh oh oh...

This is real life in the real world

We ain't talking to no models

We got real girls

We get real low, we get real high

It ain't all good baby but it's all right

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 whoa oh oh oh oh...

That's just the way that we live whoa oh oh oh oh...

This is real life in the real world

We ain't talking to no models

We got real girls

We get real low, we get real high

It ain't all good baby but it's all right

Real life

Yeah we're livin' 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 all right

Real life

This ain't no fairy tale, it's real life.
