Lyrics
You love to hear me singing about broken hearts
And perfect love that somehow all went wrong
What you don't realise is that I'm wearing no disguise
Oh, I'm just a real-life country song
You love to hear me tellin' tales of misery
And folks in love who just can't get along
But you don't understand, that I know it all first hand
Oh, I'm just a real-life country song
And I'm nobody's darlin'
I wear the heartache crown
The end is never far behind the startin'
'Cause love has always let me down
The songs I sing are full of woe and heartbreak
They're somewhere happy endings don't belong
No one appreciates that I'm playing it dead straight
'Cause I'm just a real-life country song
And I'm nobody's darlin'
I wear the heartache crown
The end is never far behind the startin'
'Cause love has always let me down
You always want to hear me sing 'bout losing
And sittin' up and cryin' all night long
But what you'll never know, is I ain't puttin' on a show
'Cause I'm just a real-life country song
Oh, I'm just a real-life country song
