Real People - Melinda Schneider

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
