Lyrics

WHEN THE REAL WORLD COLLIDES WITH MINE
© Rick Gordon & Kurt Hagan

VERSE 1
Hope these walls are good and sturdy
Hope this bar is built to code
Somethin?s comin?, it unnerves me
I got nowhere safe to go
So I?m anchored to this bottle
And I won?t let go my grip
?Cause there ain?t no tellin? what might
Happen if the big one hits

CHORUS
When reality bursts in
Arm in arm with my ex-best friend
Then the whole room starts to spin
But I?ll be fine
I?ll just hold on for dear life
As he holds my dear ex-wife
When the real world collides with mine

VERSE 2
Here in my world, she still loves me
We still sleep in our big bed
We still walk on sunny beaches
At least someplace in my head
But I?m braced for sudden impact
With this bourbon in my hand
And if I?m knocked to Kingdom Come
This bar stool?s where I?ll land

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Then in a dream her voice calls to me
She says ?Darlin?, I?ve been so foolish
I somehow lost the flame that burned so bright?

CHORUS 3
Then reality bursts in
She gets a light from my ex-best friend
And the whole room starts to spin
One more time
I?ll wait for all the smoke to clear
To down my bourbon and my beer
When the real world collides with mine
