C                   E7 
Well I grew up in a real town 
          Am               F 
Where the prom queen had a plastic crown  
       C               E7 
And we really did just drive around  
             Am             F 
’Cause there wasn’t sh!t to do 
   C                   E7 
We didn’t know we were real broke  
Am                F 
Daddy rolled them real smokes 
         C      E7 
We drank RC, no real Coke 
        Am             F 
But our neighbor had a pool 

C             E7                 Am 
 We got green grass and two trees  
     F 
Whoa oh oh oh oh 
C                  E7           Am 
 But it ain’t like what’s on TV  
     F 
Whoa oh oh oh oh 

        C       E7       Am        F 
This is real life in the real world 
         C             E7 
We ain’t talking to no models 
       Am      F 
We got real girls 
       C      E7        Am       F 
We get real low, we get real high 
          C       E7            Am      F 
It ain’t all good baby but it’s all right  
       C    E7    Am    F

          C 
We got a dive bar 
       E7                   Am 
With a real band, they play too loud 
            F 
And they’re real bad 
           C                    E7 
But we’re real boys so we still dance 
        Am              F 
And we stay out way too late 
        C                     E7 
Hit the Waffle House for some real food 
         Am              F 
But that waitress, she’s real rude 
         C                E7 
She got real problems but we do too 
       Am       F 
So we tip her anyway 

C                E7            Am 
 That’s just the way that it is  
F 
Whoa oh oh oh oh 
C                E7            Am  
 That’s just the way that we live 
F 
Whoa oh oh oh oh

Fall real hard, shake off the dirt  
F                  E7
