Real Life

They were married one cold October
No flowers bloomed for her bouquet
Everybody’s got a moment in the spotlight
Theirs was on their wedding day
Two hearts in a single conclusion
Safe inside the ties that bind
It’s no mystery when you let each moment
Be defined by the feeling inside
This is real life
Real life happens even if you look the other way
Real life
They’re not afraid to feel
They’re taking the wheel
Life in the real lane
There’s a princess, a homecoming beauty
Somehow she got thrown away
She’s a plan, a hot plate, and a baby
She’s walking down on old Broadway
She says it’s real life
Real life happens even if I turn the other way
Real life gives me so few chances
It’s the circumstances of life in the real lane
He came home from a field of honor
From behind the rising sun
He walked through the fire in the jungle
Not sure of the things he’d done
He’s got no home, he’s got no family
Just a desperate point of view
The world was once a diamond in his pocket
Now he says he’ll work for food
This is real life
Real life happens even if we turn the other way
Real life
There’s no mistaking, the chance you’re taking
In real life
Real life happens
It don’t ever go away
This is life in the real lane
