Testo: Melinda Schneider. Family Tree. Real People.

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
