"Real Ones" lyrics

Well, they went all in and they cashed in on Johnny
Well, they bet against Waylon, said he's a little too ornery
Willy kept rolling, knowing smoke they was blowing was just for the almighty dollar
But that outlaw bit taught them they ain't shit and they're still a tough act to follow

I should've known a long time ago
That they'd never play my songs on the radio
If they only knew half the things I'd done
They'd never call themselves outlaws
'Cause I'm one of the real ones

Well, I guess I got it honest with this blood running through my veins
Yeah, I made a good living off of poor decisions and pain
And all the hell I went through trying to live up to his last name
Ain't worth one red cent, all the time I spent, chasing this money and fame

Yeah, and I should've known a long time ago
That they'd never play my songs on the radio
If they only knew half the things I'd done
They'd never call themselves outlaws
'Cause I'm one of the real ones

Yeah, and we should've known a long time ago
That they'd never play my songs on the radio
If they only knew half the things we'd done
They'd never call themselves outlaws
'Cause we're one of the real ones

They'd never call themselves outlaws
'Cause we're one of the real ones

Well, they went all in and they cashed in on Johnny
Well, they bet against Waylon, said he's a little too ornery...
