[00:10.540]Suzanne divorced her husband
[00:17.758]She got the keys to the car and the home
[00:24.681]But her friends were really his friends
[00:31.023]No one stops by to see her much anymore
[00:35.789]So one night she goes back down to the old haunts
[00:43.289]That once upon a time were her own
[00:51.897]She didn't know nobody out there no more
[00:58.322]And the whole experience just made her feel so old
[01:06.356]She says
[01:14.893][Chorus:]I want to live the real life
[01:17.731]I want ot live my life close to the bone
[01:25.067]Just because I'm middle-aged that don't mean
[01:29.259]I want to sit around my house and watch T.V.
[01:34.156]I want the real life
[01:39.961]I want to live the real life
[01:45.871]Jackson Jackson was a good kid
[01:51.783]He had four years of college and a bachelor's degree
[01:59.302]Started workin' when he was 21
[02:05.180]Got fed up and quit
[02:12.072]When he was 43
[02:19.589]He said, "My whole life
[02:25.491]I've done what I'm supposed to do
[02:31.412]Now I'd like to maybe do something for myself
[02:35.204]And just as soon as I figure out what that is
[02:38.852]You can bet your life I'm gonna give it hell"
[02:44.710]He says
[02:55.491][Chorus]
[03:30.245]I guess it don't matter how old you are
[03:39.760]Or how old one lives to be
[03:48.384]I guess it boils down to what we did with our lives
[03:58.661]And how we deal with our own destinies
[04:02.965]But something happens
[04:06.618]When you reach a certain age
[04:11.963]Particularly to those ones that are young at heart
[04:16.741]It's a lonely proposition when you realize
[04:22.580]That's there's less days in front of the horse
[04:28.467]Than riding in the back of this cart
