Suzanne divorced her husband
She got the keys to the car and the home
But her friends were really his friends
No one stops by to see her much anymore
So one night she goes back down to the old haunts
That once upon a time were her own
She didn't know nobody out there no more
And the whole experience just made her feel so old
She says

[Chorus:]
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 life

Jackson Jackson was a good kid
He had four years of college and a bachelor's degree
Started workin' when he was 21
Got fed up and quit
When he was 43
He said, "My whole life
I've done what I'm supposed to do
Now I'd like to maybe do something for myself
And just as soon as I figure out what that is
You can bet your life I'm gonna give it hell"
He says

[Chorus]

I guess it don't 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 those ones that are young at heart
It's a lonely proposition when you realize
That's there's less days in front of the horse
Than riding in the back of this cart
I say

[Chorus]


Mirror lyrics:

[Chorus]

I say
Than riding in the back of this cart
That's there's less days in front of the horse
It's a lonely proposition when you realize
Particularly to those ones that are young at heart
When you reach a certain age
But something happens
And how we deal with our own destinies
I guess it boils down to what we did with our lives
Or how old one lives to be
I guess it don't matter how old you are

[Chorus]

He says
You can bet your life I'm gonna give it hell"
And just as soon as I figure out what that is
Now I'd like to maybe do something for myself
I've done what I'm supposed to do
He said, "My whole life
When he was 43
Got fed up and quit
Started workin' when he was 21
He had four years of college and a bachelor's degree
Jackson Jackson was a good kid

I want to live the real life
I want the real life
I want to sit around my house and watch T.V.
Just because I'm middle-aged that don't mean
I want ot live my life close to the bone
I want to live the real life
[Chorus:]

She says
And the whole experience just made her feel so old
She didn't know nobody out there no more
That once upon a time were her own
So one night she goes back down to the old haunts
No one stops by to see her much anymore
But her friends were really his friends
She got the keys to the car and the home
Suzanne divorced her husband

Popular Songs:
i've been alone

home is where the heart is

moving on

searchin'

stuff & nonsense

aprăƒâ¸s quoi on court

till the world ends

ein li davar

creo

demystification

honky tonk blues

long hard ride

captain of heaven

human drama

orient

underneath the bunker

um edifă­cio no meio do mundo

i don't care

te quedaste en mi

is it that time again
