Bucky Covington - A Different World Lyrics

We we're born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our cribs we're covered in lead-based paint
No childproof lids
No seatbelts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets
And still here we are
Still here we are

We got daddy's belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had we're friends and they we're outside
Playing outside

It was a different life
When we we're boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

School always started the same everyday
The pledge of allegiance, then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed but that was alright
We turned out alright

It was a different life
When we we're boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

No bottled water
We'd drink from a garden hose
And every Sunday,
All the stores we're closed.

It was a different life
When we we're boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

It was a different life
When we we're boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

It was a different world
