Keepin' it Real

(album: Love Hope Faith - 2017)

Everything I ever had
Good or bad was handed down
From my old man, his old man and Jesus
Yeah, even this old truck right here
He wrecked it trying to miss a deer
I put it back together from the pieces
Pulled out that factory stereo
Put 18s in the back of this old Chevrolet
And rocked away both [?]

I'm keeping it real
[?] down to earth
Living life for all its worth
I'm keeping it real
In the country railroad go uptown
Waiting 'il the sun goes down
I'm keeping it real

Yeah, everything I ever learned
Right or wrong was cut and dried
Crash and burn and drive it like you stole it
(That's what we did)
I watched that red right blink for hours
On the water tower from west of town
Headlights on the highway, just keep going
This map dot made me who I am
And who I am don't give a damn
Don't give a damn 'bout anybody knowing

I'm keeping it real
No quitting side [?] pride
I'm just out here walking the line
I'm keeping it real
In this dusty two lane [?] town
Waiting til the sun goes down
I'm keeping it real

[?] this rusty hood
Beer is cold, life is good
I'll light it up and think about old memories
I'm killing time 'cause I can't take you with me

I'm keeping it real
[?] down to earth
Living life for all its worth
I'm keeping it real
In the country railroad go uptown
Waiting 'il the sun goes down

I'm keeping it real
No quitting side [?] pride
I'm just out here walking the line
I'm keeping it real
In this dusty two lane [?] town
Waiting til the sun goes down

I'm keeping it real
I'm keeping it real
I'm keeping it real
In this dusty two lane [?] town
I'm keeping it real
I'm keeping it real
Keeping it real
