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 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 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 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

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

Nothings 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 are all your own

Turn to nightmares all alone

It hits you right between the eyes

This is the life

This is the life

Yeahh
