Martina McBride, Buddy Miller - The Real Thing lyrics

Artificial sweeteners, spray on tans
I'd rather have the sugar
The sun and the sand give me the real thing
Give me the real thing

Virtual friends, reality shows
Put a filter on it so nobody knows
It ain't the real thing
It ain't the real thing

When the smoke and mirrors all get clearer
Give me what remains
The glitz and glitter won't last forever
Someday it'll all wash away
We got cyber clouds and digital streams
Sometimes I gotta shut it down
Get outside and breathe the real thing
Give me the real thing

When the smoke and mirrors all get clearer
Give me what remains
The glitz and glitter won't last forever
Someday it'll all wash away

Late night calls, casual fling
Just ain't gonna cut it once we've seen
The real thing we got the real thing
Oh, the real thing, baby
We got the real thing
