Real Life Lyrics - Love Remains - Alice Peacock

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
