The Life Lyrics

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
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
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
I 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 I'm going crazy all the time
So this is the life they talked about So 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, oh
Nothing is ever what it seems Maybe that grass ain't so green Nothing's ever out of reach When you're seventeen
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, oh, this is the life, yeah
