At a roadhouse an hour outta Rocky She said "You look like you need a cup of coffee" "Pull up a chair, I'll be over in a jiffy", Really made me feel at home We got talking 'bout her hubby and kids And how she wouldn't change her life for quids I was thinking how lucky she is To be so satisfied with her lot in life
Chorus
Real people There's nothing not to like about 'em Posers and primadonnas I reckon we can do without 'em Salt of the Earth know where you stand Throw you a rope lend you a hand Real people
Blew a tyre on a broken beer bottle I tried to change it but I was having trouble When a truckie with a two day stubble Said "Need a hand there love?" We got talking 'bout life on the road And how he loves his country radio He said "Hey aren't you that Beccy Cole?" I said "Yeah something like that" And signed "Love Beccy" on his hat
Repeat Chorus
Real people
Salt of the Earth know where you stand Love what you do do what you can Throw you a rope lend you a hand
Real people There's nothing not to like about 'em Posers and primadonnas I reckon we can do without 'em Real people There's nothing not to like about 'em
Posers and primadonnas I reckon we can do without 'em Real people Real people.
