Lyrics
REAL LIFE
Copyright 2007 by Barry Meadow
As a kid I dreamed I'd be a Super Bowl hero
I'd score the winning touhcdown on the final play
Or I could be an astronaut and travel to the heavens
Be the first man to visit Mars one day
Today I fixed the faucet, took the car to the shop
Dragged the garbage cans out to the potholed street
Paid some overdue bills and folded the laundry
This real life is really getting to me
This real life is really getting to me
It sure would be great to be a famous actor
Dating models and actresses wouldn't be bad
I appreciate this Academy Award
I'd like to thank the little people and my mom and dad
Today I ate a bad hot dog at the fast food place
And waited an hour at the DMV
Then I asked a girl but told me she's busy
This real life is really getting to me
This real life is really getting to me
Will I be a major bigshot with a private jet? Probably not.
My chances of winning the Daytona 500? Not so hot.
I thought by now I'd be sitting real pretty
But life hasn't turned out the way I thought it would be
Still I can always dream about tomorrow
When this real life is really getting to me
When this real life is really getting tome
Man oh man, when this real life is really getting to me.
