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 are all 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 pure highs 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 are all your own. Turn to nightmares all alone. It hits you right between the eyes. This is the life. This is the life. Nothing's ever what it seems. Maybe that grass ain't so green. Nothing's 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 are all your own. Turn to nightmares all alone. It hits you right between the eyes. This is the life. This is the life. Yeah
