I'm leavin' tonight
down the same dirt road
a million times
I've driven just to get home
And I ain't ever lookin' back
for nothin'
Headed for the coast
lookin' for the high life
Everybody knows
it's nothin' but a good time
And I sold everythin' I had
for somethin'
I can't seem to find
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
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 the movies
It's gettin' hard to hide
the more it's doin' to me
Don't know how long
I can keep on goin'
crazy all the time
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
Nothin' is ever what it seems
Maybe that grass
ain't so green
Nothings ever out of reach
when you're seventeen
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
Oh oh
