Somethin' Real
Writer: JT Hall & Brett Jones

I chased rainbows when I was a boy
Played every town up and down the west coast
Carved out a path through concrete and steel
Lookin for somethin real

Met the love of my life out in Santa Fe
Settled down beside her and tried to live that way
But I was just to young to let go of the wheel
Didn't know I walked away from somethin real

Chorus:
It wasn't that little brick home
It wasn't what we owned
It was that thing we shared
One honest heart, unconditional arms
How did I ever leave there
Now I search stranger's eyes
Longing for how it feels
To hold somethin' somethin real

Got a rented room on the outskirts of town
All my friends are married reckon it's time
To settle down
But either I can't remember how
That true love felt
Or I just never found it
With anyone else, no anyone else

Tag:
Now I search stranger's eyes
And I know how they feel
They're lookin' for somethin they can hold on to
Lookin' for someone they can believe in
Everybody needs somethin real
