Real Life

I was young, he was old, we both were the same age Everyday playing fetch, shakin? hands he?d lick my face And I was unaware the day would come And when he died was the first time I knew what real pain was? (chorus) And I never was the same again From that moment on real life began Senior high, girlfriends, football games, graduation Summer break spent my time filling out applications A few superficial years went by they were all a blur And in the most unlikely situation there you were, yeah? (chorus) And I never was the same again From that moment on real life began? With you? By your side scared to death felt the pain you were fightin? Placed my palm on your head spoke your name just keep tryin? And then you closed your eyes and took one last breath And when it was over you looked up laid our baby across your breast?
