[Verse 1]
I've been thinkin' hard, been thinkin' hard about life
I've been realizin' it's hard as cuttin' steel with a wooden knife but
I sure am glad, sure am glad I got you by my side

[Verse 2]
I've been workin' hard, been workin' past my youth
Truth is, it's not for me but to put up a better life for you and
I promise you one day we're gonna live in the biggest state with a garden
I know you want a garden

[Chorus]
This game of life will take you for a whirl
Hell, I guess we're in the real world now

[Verse 3]
Been tryin' but it's hard make a livin' out of this guitar
The pay is cheap when you playin' for drinks with an out of tune string in a smoky bar but
One day it'll all pay off, we'll get elopеd and we'll run off together

[Chorus]
This gamе of life will take you for a whirl
Hell, I guess we're in the real world now

[Verse 4]
Been tryin' but it's hard make a livin' out of this guitar
The pay is cheap when you playin' for drinks with an out of tune string in a smoky bar but
One day it'll all pay off, baby, it'll pay off for us
[Chorus]
This game of life will take you for a whirl
Hell, I guess we're in the real world
This game of life will take you for a whirl
Hell, I guess we're in the real world

[Outro]
Real world now
Yeah, come on
Oh, baby, yeah
Give it to me
