It can take 8 years to play your best show,
So come on out and give ‘em one more
Every Monday you hang your head low
So you won’t fall down
I realized my best days are when I don’t know
Where I’ve left off or where I wanna go
If you can justify keeping your head low
Then you won’t fall down
That’s real life
The good days will make the bad ones alright
That’s real life
Play the part to last another night
That’s real life
The good days will make the bad ones alright
That’s real life
I know you’ve seen enough to realize
That’s real life
Oh, it’s over me
This warm and strange, yet comforting breeze
I like to come on out when I say so
Unlock the latch and everybody knows
I’ll take a roller coaster on the “down low”
So I won’t fall out
I got a pocket full of dynamite ready to blow
I practice every single morning with the radio (OHHH)
You reserve the right now to let go!
Just don’t fall down
Now that’s real life
The good days will make the bad ones alright
That’s real life
Play the part to last another night
That’s real life
The good days will make the bad ones alright
That’s real life
I know you’ve seen enough to realize
That’s real life
Oh it’s over me
This warm and strange, yet comforting breeze
And that’s all you’ve got to believe
This sunny day is all I need
All I’ll ever need
Careful now, we’re going overtime, I’m like an old man singing!
We’re on a 9-to-5. You better step in time to the old man, singing
Careful now, we’re going overtime, I’m like an old man singing!
We’re on a 9-to-5. You better step in time to the old man singing
Oh it’s over me
This warm and strange, yet comforting breeze
And that’s all you’ve got to believe
This sunny day is all I need
Careful now, we’re going overtime, I’m like an old man singing!
We’re on a 9-to-5. You better step in time ‘cause you know
That’s real life
The good days will make the bad ones alright
That’s real life
You play the part so you can last another night
That’s real life
The good days will make the bad ones alright
That’s real life
I know you’ve seen enough to realize
That’s real life
