[Verse 1:]

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 



[Chorus:]

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 



[Verse 2:]

These four walls feel more like a prison 

Instead of pure highs 

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 



[Chorus:]

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 



Nothings ever what it seems 

Maybe that grass ain't so green 

Nothings ever out of reach 

When you're seventeen 



[Chorus:]

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
