The Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm leaving tonight Down the same dirt road A million times I've driven just to get home And I ain't ever looking back For nothing Headed for the coast Looking for the high life Everybody knows It's nothing but a good time And I sold everything I had For something I can't seem to find [Chorus] So this is the life they talked about This is the I can't live without When the real world crashes down Oh if they could see me now When all the dreams of "on your own" Turn to nightmares all alone It hits you right between the eyes This is the life This is the life [Verse 2] These four walls feel more like a prison Instead of paradise I couldn't wait to live in So I just drink myself to sleep Again Can't escape my mind This ain't like a movie It's getting hard to hide The more it's doin to me Don't know how long I can keep From going Crazy all the time [Chorus] So this is the life they talked about This is the I can't live without When the real world crashes down Oh if they could see me now When all the dreams of "on your own" Turn to nightmares all alone It hits you right between the eyes This is the life This is the life [Bridge] Nothings ever what it seems Maybe that grass ain't so green Nothings ever out of reach When you're seventeen [Chorus] So this is the life they talked about This is the I can't live without When the real world crashes down Oh if they could see me now When all the dreams of "on your own" Turn to nightmares all alone It hits you right between the eyes This is the life This is the life Yeahh
