(Alan Jackson - Mark Irwin)

Cowboys don't cry and heroes don't die.
And good always wins again and again.
And love is a sweet dream that always comes true
Oh, if life were like the movies, I'd never be blue.

But here in the real world it's not that easy at all,
'Cause when hearts get broken it's real tears that fall.
And darlin', it's sad but true but the one thing I've learned from you,
Is how the boy don't always get the girl here in the real world.

--- Instrumental ---

I gave you my love but that wasn't enough,
To hold your heart when times got rough.
And tonight on that silver screen it'll end like it should,
Two lovers will make it through like I hoped we would.

But here in the real world it's not that easy at all,
'Cause when hearts get broken it's real tears that fall.
And darlin', it's sad but true but the one thing I've learned from you,
Is how the boy don't always get the girl here in the real world.

How the boys don't always get the girl here in the real world...
