Hey look to your left, look to your right, tell me what you see
Somebody else looking back at you that's just like you and me
Ain't got it all, ain't got it bad, truth is we've been blessed
Take whatever the good lord gives and work hard for the rest

Real people
Look like playing it to the limit
Real people
Got pride and mighty proud of it
Livin' every day with a daily grind
Chasing our dreams till the day we die
Head held high, feet firm on the ground
Real people make this world go round

You can look us in the eye, shake our hand, that's how deal gets made
If we give our word, or say it's true, you can take it to the bank
Cause nothin' means more than who we are than the mark we leave behind
We'd rather die with a cold hard truth than live with a lie

Real people
Look like playing it to the limit
Real people
Got pride and mighty proud of it
Livin' every day with a daily grind
Chasing our dreams till the day we die
Head held high, feet firm on the ground
Real people make this world go round

Now don't get me wrong, we work real hard
For the wages that we're paid
But once that quittin' whistle man you see us play
Sun goes down we get messed up look out here we come
Ain't nobody on gods green earth that knows how to have more fun

Real people
Look like playing it to the limit
Real people
Got pride and damn proud of it
Livin' every day with a daily grind
Chasing our dreams till the day we die
Head held high, feet firm on the ground
Real people make this world go round

Yeah, real people make this world go round
Yeah, real people
I said, real people
