Lyrics
[verse]
Woke up late, the bills are on the table
Rent is due but I don't feel able
Everybody says just get a plan
But nobody built me a map I understand
[chorus]
Welcome to the real world, kid
Nobody warned me what it did
I'm figuring it out as I go along
Trying to write my own damn song
[verse]
They told me college was the golden key
Told me success would just come easy
Now I'm counting coins to buy the gas
Wondering when the good times start to last
[chorus]
Welcome to the real world, kid
Nobody warned me what it did
I'm figuring it out as I go along
Trying to write my own damn song
[bridge]
Maybe nobody's got it figured out
Maybe that's what living's all about
I'll take the stumbles with the wins
And start again where I begin
[chorus]
Welcome to the real world, kid
Nobody warned me what it did
I'm figuring it out as I go along
Trying to write my own damn song
