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 shit 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 grass and a few trees, but it ain't like what's on TV

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 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 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 alright, real life
Yeah, we're loving 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
