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
