A Different World

[rainbowtreat]

Not sure how many of you like country music but I love this song. It says so much of when I was growing up. The guy who sings it was on American Idol last year. Bucky Covington.

A Different World



We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our cribs were covered in lead based paint
No child proof lids no seat belts 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 were friends and they were outside, playin’ outside

Chorus
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

School always started the same every day
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed and that was all right, we turned out all right

Chorus

Bridge
No bottled water, we drank from a garden hose
And every Sunday, all the stores were closed

Chorus

Chorus

It was a different world

I've seen this before, but I don't think I realized it was a song, Gwen. It's too true though. My life was just like this song growing up! And, I think, I turned out okay!

That was so my life. We even rode in the back of the pickup when my Dad was chasing cows...and had a blast doing it. Now we almost get in trouble for letting our dogs ride in the back. Too funny.

The first time i heard this song i nodded my head in agreement with it. it is so true and would be a much better world if we could do all of those things now.
