Real Life

It ain't a sense of freedom When you're worked to the bones And barely breakin' even starts to get a little old Another nine-to-five Not an overtime dollar Wastin' away life wearing that blue coloured collar But I'm guessin' that's just real life I've never known Hangin' on a heart of gold You start to feel that this old wheel ain't turnin' You're puttin' on the brakes as you're headin' home You feel like you've nowhere to go You've played the game, now this old flame stopped burnin' For too long you're fightin' You've got your back to the wall And man those arms are tired for breakin' all the weight of your fall But you keep believin' There's a light on the horizon And that's enough to keep me guessin' that you're gonna die trying Now I'm guessin' that's just real life I've never known Hangin' on a heart of gold You start to feel that this old wheel ain't turnin' You're puttin' on the brakes as you're headin' home You feel like you've nowhere to go You've played the game, now this old flame stopped burnin' When that flame stops burnin' Yeah And the wheel stops turnin' Yeah I'm guessin' that's just real life I've never known Hangin' on a heart of gold You start to feel that this old wheel ain't turnin' You're puttin' on the brakes as you're headin' home You feel like you've nowhere to go You've played the game, now this old flame stopped burnin' Oh, you start to feel that this old wheel ain't turnin'
