John Mellencamp - The Real Life слова песни
Suzanne divorced her husbandShe got the keys to the car and the homeBut her friends were really his friendsNo one stops by to see her much anymoreSo one night she goes back down to the old hauntsThat once upon a time were her ownShe didn`t know nobody out there no moreAnd the whole experience just made her feel so oldShe says I want to live the real life I want ot live my life close to the bone Just because I`m middle-aged that don`t mean I want to sit around my house and watch T.V. I want the real life I want to live the real lifeJackson Jackson was a good kidHe had four years of college and a bachelor`s degreeStarted workin` when he was 21Got fed up and quitWhen he was 43He said, "My whole lifeI`ve done what I`m supposed to doNow I`d like to maybe do something for myselfAnd just as soon as I figure out what that isYou can bet your life I`m gonna give it hell"He says ChorusI guess it don`t matter how old you areOr how old one lives to beI guess it boils down to what we did with our livesAnd how we deal with our own destiniesBut something happensWhen you reach a certain ageParticularly to those ones that are young at heartIt`s a lonely proposition when you realizeThat`s there`s less days in front of the horseThan riding in the back of this cartI say Chorus
