welcome to the real world kid - butch hancock lyrics

[verse 1]
she was a screamer, and a moaner
i was a dreamer, and a loner
i don’t know how we, we got together
but we did
she wore a fancy diamond choker
the queen of hearts, i was the joker
i saw the marked cards, in her stacked deck
but i can’t tell ya how she kept her aces hid

[chorus]
she drew the line, i guess i crossed it
i bet all i had and lost it
and she said, “welcome to the real world kid.”
she said, “welcome to the real world kid.”

[verse 2]
i tried to shake, my aches and pains
i tried the highways, i tried the trains
i don’t know how they, they always found me
but they did
they’ll have you standin’, they’ll have you kneelin’
they rub your face in, your deepest feelin’
it’s all that holds your heart together
you might deny it but you’ll never keep it hid
[chorus]
you can’t out run it, you can’t out race it
it’s just like music, you’ve got to face it
when they say, “welcome to the real world kid.”
they say, “welcome to the real world kid.”

[solo]

[verse 3]
she’s a pressure cooker, a snappy looker
my friends mistook her, for a happy hooker
i don’t know how they, they got that idea
but they did
i smelled trouble, the very minute
i realized, my nose was in it
i closed my eyes, to the hot truth
but nothing changed no matter what i did

[chorus]
i took a step back, and then another
and then another, and then another
and she said, “welcome to the real world kid.”
she said, “welcome to the real world kid.”

[verse 4]
the virgin forest, a virgin bird
for mother mary, and mother earth
i don’t know how they, they got the same man
but they did
i see her face, up in the clouds
i see her eyes in every crowd
the way she held me in her arms she
she made me promise not to tell you what she did
[chorus]
i said, “is this all?” she said, “yes it is…
and what’s more what is, is all there is.”
and she said, “welcome to the real world kid.”
she said, “welcome to the real world kid.”

[verse 5]
she was a screamer, and a moaner
i was a dreamer, and a loner
i don’t know how we, we got together
but we did
she wore a fancy diamond choker
the queen of hearts, i was the joker
i saw the marked cards, in her stacked deck
but i can’t tell ya how she kept her aces hid

[chorus]
she drew the line, i guess i crossed it
i bet all i had and lost it
and she said, “welcome to the real world kid.”
she said, “welcome to the real world kid.”
