Songtext Real one Mat Kearney

Real one

You were floating down Broadway
Saying we don't come down here anymore
Must be something in the lemonade
'Cause the cracks in my eyes are dripping on the floor
You know they're the good kind
'Cause you say that I'm a good guy
Even though you know my dark side
In the cold daylight

And there's a lot on my plate I'm trying to get through
Come on hold my hand the way like you used to

If you got a real one, then you know the feeling
Gotta lay it down, like you know the deal, son
If you got a lighter, lover, and a fighter
Sets you on fire when you walking beside her
Oh yeah, the writing is red
Oh yeah, mama always said
"If the rock is rolling, got 'em and smoke 'em
If you've got the one worth holding
Then hold 'em"

It was a beautiful Spring day, birds were chirping in the air
My best friend walked up my studio stairs
We were eating tacos and Topo Chico
He said, "My girl's gonna go, it cut to the bone, everything that I thought, that I really don't know"
It made one thing ring even more true, how I feel about you

If you got a real one, then you know the feeling
Gotta lay it down, like you know the deal, son
If you got a lighter, lover, and a fighter
Sets you on fire when you walking beside her
Oh yeah, 'cause the writing is red
Oh yeah, mama always said
"If the rock is rolling, got 'em and smoke 'em
If you've got somebody worth holding
Then hold 'em"

Pale-green eyes in the violet light
Making me scream like a family fight
Some nights feel like a movie
Looking for your phone in the dark like a newbie
You know I'll always try
I don't know why you're making me cry
Wide-open eyes

If you got a real one, then you know the feeling
Gotta lay it down, like you know the deal, son
If you got a lighter, lover, and a fighter
Sets you on fire when you walking beside her
Oh yeah, you know I can't change
Oh yeah, the way you got me brained
Rock is rolling, got 'em and smoke 'em
If you've got the one worth holding
Then hold 'em
Then hold 'em
