Songs Title：the real life

Suzanne divorced her husband

She got the keys and the car and the home

But her friends were really his friens

No one stops by to see her much any more

So one night, she goes back down to

The old haunts

That once upon a time were her own

She didnt know nobody out there no

More

And the whole experience just made her

Feel so old

She says

I want to live the real life

I want to life my life close to the bone

Just because im middle-aged that

Dont mean

I want to sit around my house and watch tv

I want the real life

I want to live the real life

Jackson jackson was a good kid

He had four years of college

And a bachelors degree

Started workin, when he was 21

Got fed up and quit

When he was 43

He said, my whole life

Ive done, what I supposed to do

Now id like to maybe do something

For myself

And just as soon, I figure out what

That is

You can bet your live

Im gonna give it hell

He says

I want to live the real life

I want to life my life close to the bone

Just because im middle-aged that

Dont mean

I want to sit around my house and watch tv

I want the real life

I want to live the real life

I guess, it dont matter, how old you

Are

Or how old one lives to be

I guess, it boils down to what we did

With our lives

And how we deal with our own

Destinies

But something happens

When you reach a certain age

Particularly to to those ones, that are

Young at heart

Its a lonely proposition when you

Realize

That theres less days in front of the

Horse

Than riding in the back of this cart

I say

I want to live the real life

I want to life my life close to the bone

Just because im middle-aged that

Dont mean

I want to sit around my house and watch tv

I want the real life

I want to live the real life.
