Generate meaning
1
Suzanne divorced her husband
2
She got the keys and the car and the home
3
But her friends were really his friens
4
No one stops by to see her much any more
5
So one night, she goes back down to
6
The old haunts
7
That once upon a time were her own
8
She didnt know nobody out there no
9
More
10
And the whole experience just made her
11
Feel so old
12
She says
13
I want to live the real life
14
I want to life my life close to the bone
15
Just because Im middle-aged that
16
Dont mean
17
I want to sit around my house and watch TV
18
I want the real life
19
I want to live the real life

Jackson Jackson was a good kid
21
He had four years of college
22
And a bachelors degree
23
Started workin, when he was 21
24
Got fed up and quit
25
When he was 43
26
He said, "My whole life
27
Ive done, what i supposed to do
28
Now Id like to maybe do something
29
For myself
30
And just as soon, i figure out what
31
That is
32
You can bet your live
33
Im gonna give it hell"
34
He says
35
I want to live the real life
36
I want to life my life close to the bone
37
Just because Im middle-aged that
38
Dont mean
39
I want to sit around my house and watch TV
40
I want the real life
41
I want to live the real life
42
I guess, it dont matter, how old you
43
Are
44
Or how old one lives to be
45
I guess, it boils down to what we did
46
With our lives
47
And how we deal with our own
48
Destinies
49
But something happens
50
when you reach a certain age
51
Particularly to to those ones, that are
52
Young at heart
53
Its a lonely proposition when you
54
Realize
55
That theres less days in front of the
56
Horse
57
Than riding in the back of this cart
58
I say
59
I want to live the real life
60
I want to life my life close to the bone
61
Just because Im middle-aged that
62
Dont mean
63
I want to sit around my house and watch TV
64
I want the real life
65
I want to live the real life.
