In Real Life
Words & Music By Colin Buchanan © 2022 Universal Music Publishing (Aust.)
When you can’t get yourself across the border line
You can still close your eyes
And you’ll see the towns of the Darling Downs
Or a big blue Drillum sky
When you can’t get your feet on the western dirt
Or get the smell of the land in rain
A dusty song will carry you on
‘Till you’re back in the bush again
We’re gonna get there
We’re gonna make it
Shouldn’t come as any big surprise
We’re gonna get there
Nothing better
And we’ll be doing it
In real life
When you haven’t got to hold the ones you love
Or you never got to say goodbye
Can’t change what’s done
But a new day’s coming
So we better get ready to fly
We’re gonna get there
We’re gonna make it
Shouldn’t come as any big surprise
We’re gonna get there
Nothing better
And we’ll be doing it
In real life
Life is more than just pictures
Love takes more than a text
Let’s just make a plan to be together again
And we’ll see what happens next
We’re gonna get there
We’re gonna make it
Shouldn’t come as any big surprise
We’re gonna get there
Nothing better
And we’ll be doing it
In real life
We’re gonna get there
We’re gonna make it
We’ll be back in town
We’ll be on the ground
In the crowd
And we’ll sing out loud
Face to face
Eye to eye
And we’ll be doing it
We’ll be doing it
We’ll be doing it in real life
Yeah in real life
