Real Understanding

They tore that motel down

Where we used to hang around

With all the fisherman and the petty thieves

So I slept in the parking lot

I got no money but I feel alright

Trying not to take too much more than I need

There's a whole lot of things in this world

Make a whole lot of noise

None of it matters much to me

I just get up and start again every morning

Real understanding, that's all that I need

I'd sure like a creek to swim

With a juke joint up the hill

We'll put a blanket out in the sun

Where the ghosts and the lovers live

I'll give what I got to give

Saying come back tomorrow if you wanna stay home

There's a whole lot of things in this world

Make a whole lot of noise

None of it matters much to me

I just get up and start again every morning

Real understanding, that's all that I need

It's a thin line between right and wrong

Having soul and having none

So many places I, I'll go

But I got to keep going

There's a whole lot of things in this world

Make a whole lot of noise

None of it matters much at all

I just get up and start again every morning

Real understanding, that's all that I want

Real understanding, that's all that I want
