“For Real”
(feat. Amos Lee, Dhani Harrison, Jakob Dylan, Micah Nelson & Lukas Nelson)
(originally by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)
Oh brother, could we be so dumb?
They set us up like dominos
I didn’t do it for no magazine
Didn’t do it for no video
I didn’t do it for no CEO
But I did it for real
I oulda done it for free
Yeah, I did it for me
‘Cause it was all that rang true
I did it for real and I did it for you
I mighta done it for my sanity
Maybe done it for my vanity
Could be I did it for my, my big ego
But I did it for real
I woulda done it for free
Yeah, I did it for me
‘Cause it was all that rang true
I did it for real and I did it for you
Oh brother, look what we’ve become
Oh brother, I’ve been overrun
Only did it for the way it made me feel
Oh but I did it for real
I woulda done it for free
Yeah, I did it for me
‘Cause it was all that rang true
I did it for real and I did it for you
