Real Things Lyrics


I love real things built to last
Hardwood floors and stone fireplaces
And looking back on the pastIce cold beer, fish that fight
Wise, old bucks
And old timer's tellin' lies
FirefliesRainy days, I love them, I always have
Screened in porches, my old, straw hat
Smell of dogwoods, early signs of spring
Real thingsI love real things like a hard days work
Sinkin' my hands in fresh plowed dirt
And lovin' someone so much it hurts
New strings on an old guitar
Moonshine in a mason jar
And just feelin' alive, at peace with who you areReal things, I love 'em, I always have
Like grandma's kitchen
And grandpa's laugh
Stealin' that first kiss on the front porch swing
Real thingsIt's them real things, that I come back to every year
Like Christmas time with those that I hold dear
When it's the real things
The truth rings so loud and clear
For those with ears to hearI want real things like I love you
Or an amen, from the very last pew
And I miss you dad
Son, I miss you too
Real things, I love them, I always have
Like the kinfolk shoes on a welcome mat
Sunday morning, hearing my mama sing
Real things, I love those real things
Real things
