The Real World

(albüm: Our Country: Americana Act II - 2018)

We danced and partied at the Mardi Gras
Threw back all the beads at the parade
Fake worlds and logos in the shopping mall
Where you came from
Everything seems the same the whole world now

So you headed down south
Left your old home town
Relocated so far away from the real world
But where is the real world?

One day you'll wake up and you will feel
I am alive, this is real

Friends came down to visit from all over
To see first hand the brand new start you've made
But you were overqualified for the tips you earned in a bar
It didn't work there and it won't work here but you tried it anyway

So head off in the car
And follow the stars
There's someone waiting not far away in the real world
Hope you get there this time
But just bear in mind
There's a lot of lost souls looking out for a sign for the real world
But where is the real world?

One day you'll wake up and you will feel
I am alive, this is real
