I've been thinkin' hard, been thinking hard about life
I've been realizing it's hard as cutting steel with a wooden knife
But I sure am glad, sure am glad I got you by my side
I've been working hard, been working past my youth
Truth is it's not for me but to put up a better life for you
And I promise you, one day, we're gonna live in a big estate
With a garden
Know you want a garden
This game of life can take you for a whirl
Hell, I guess we're in the real world now
Been trying but it's hard
Make a living out of this guitar
The pay is cheap when you're playing for drinks
With an out of tune string, in a smoky bar
But one day, it'll all pay off
We'll get eloped and we'll run off together
This game of life can take you for a whirl
Hell, I guess we're in the real world now
Been trying but it's hard
Make a living out of this guitar
The pay is cheap when you're playing for drinks
With an out of tune string in a smoky bar
But one day it'll all pay off, baby, it'll pay off for us
This game of life can take you for a whirl
Hell, I guess we're in the real world
This game of life can take you for a whirl
Hell, I guess we're in the real world
Real world now
Yeah, come on
Oh baby, yeah
Give it to me
