Real Ones

Well, they went all in and they cashed in on Johnny

But, they bet against Waylon, sayin' he's a little too ornery

Willy kept rolling, knew the smoke they was blowing was just for the almighty dollar

But that outlaw bit taught them they ain't shit and they're still a tough act to follow

And I should've known a long time ago

They'd never play my songs on the radio

If they only knew half the things I'd done

They'd never call themselves outlaws

'Cause I'm one of the real ones

Well, I guess I got it honest with this blood running through my veins

Yeah, I made a good living off of poor decisions and pain

All the hell I been through trying to live up to this last name

Ain't worth one red cent, all the time I spent, chasing after money and fame

And I should've known a long time ago

They'd never play my songs on the radio

If they only knew half the things I'd done

They'd never call themselves outlaws

'Cause I'm one of the real ones

Yeah, we should've known a long time ago

They'd never play our songs on the radio

If they only knew half the things we'd done

They'd never call themselves outlaws

'Cause we're some of the real ones

They'd never call themselves outlaws

'Cause we're some of the real ones

Well, they went all in and they cashed in on Johnny

They lost a bet against Waylon, said he's a little too-

I bet that cost 'em a lot of money
