Here in the Real World

Written by: Mark Irwin, Alan Jackson

Cowboys don't cry
And heroes don't die
And good always wins
Again and again

And love is a sweet dream
That always comes true
Oh, if life were like the movies
I'd never be blue

[CHORUS]
But here in the real world
It's not that easy at all
Cause when hearts get broken
It's real tears that fall
And, darling, it's sad but true
But the one thing
I've learned from you
Is how the boy don't
Always get the girl
Here in the real world

I gave you my love
But that wasn't enough
To hold your heart
When times got tough

And tonight on that silver screen
It'll end like it should
Two lovers will make it through
Like I hoped we would

[repeat CHORUS]

No, the boy don't
Always get the girl
Here in the real world
