In this heartfelt ballad, the artist grapples with a yearning for authenticity and depth in a world often filled with superficiality. He expresses his dissatisfaction with fleeting pleasures and temporary fixes, instead seeking something real and substantial. The backbone in the backbeat and lifelong in the front seat symbolize his desire for strength and longevity, while deep cuts and heartbreaks represent raw, genuine emotions that he can truly feel. The song is a call to embrace life's challenges as they contribute to our growth and shape us into who we are. It's an ode to embracing truth, love that feels like home, meaningful conversations - essentially things that are real, profound and lasting.
Something Real
Lyrics
Sometimes, a crowd makes me lonely
Sometimes, a shot just makes me sad
Sometimes, I miss that old small town, slow down
Life I kinda wish that I still had
I can't really pour my heart out
On the FM radio
'Cause the way I'm really feeling
Won't fill up the coliseum, I'm on the edge of Tupelo
Yeah, I need a little backbone in my backbeat
I need a little lifelong in my front seat
I need the kinda moments that make my whole wide world stand still
I wanna hear about a deep cut, a heartbreak
Yeah, tell me 'bout your hard times, your mistakes
Give me something that'll burn, I can turn into something I can feel
Yeah, I want somethin' real, somethin' real
I like a long drive down a backroad
And pretty girls sitting at a bar
But those roads don't go forever, pickup lines don't always get her
And that neon just goes dark
I wanna climb up on a mountain
I want a love that feels like home
Yeah, I want a conversation
Like a sunset and a song, I can feel down in my bones
Yeah, I need a little backbone in my backbeat
I need a little lifelong in my front seat
I need the kinda moments that make my whole wide world stand still
I wanna hear about a deep cut, a heartbreak
Yeah, tell me 'bout your hard times, your mistakes
Give me somethin' that'll burn, I can turn into somethin' I can feel
Yeah, I want something real strong
Yeah, something I can hold onto
When the red dirt settles down
And there's nothing left around
I'm just lookin' for some truth
I'm just lookin' for some truth
I need a little backbone in my backbeat
I need a little lifelong in my front seat
I need the kinda moments that make my whole wide world stand still
Yeah, I wanna hear about a deep cut, a heartbreak
Yeah, tell me 'bout your hard times, your mistakes
Give me somethin' that'll burn I can turn into somethin' I can feel
Yeah, I want somethin' real
Yeah, I want somethin' real
Yeah, I want somethin' real
Yeah I need somethin' real
Something real
Whoa-whoa, yeah, I want something real
