HERE IN THE REAL WORLD 

WRITERS ALAN JACKSON, MARK IRWIN



Cowboys don't cry, and heroes don't die 

Good always wins, again and again 

Love is a sweet dream that always comes true 

Oh, if life were like the movies, I'd never be blue 



CHORUS 

But here in the real world 

It's not that easy at all 

'Cause when hearts get broken 

It's real tears that fall 

And darlin' it's sad but true 

But the one thing I've learned from you 

Is how the boy don't always get the girl 

Here in the real world 



I gave you my love, but that wasn't enough 

To hold your heart when times got rough 

And tonight on that silver screen 

It'll end like it should 

Two lovers will make it through 

Like I hoped we would 

repeat 



REPEAT CHORUS 



No, the boy don't always get the girl 

Here in the real world
