A Different World Lyrics - Bucky - Bucky Covington

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 

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 

It was a different life 

When we were boys and girls 

Not just a different time 

It was a different world 

No bottled water, we drank from a garden hose 

And every Sunday, all the stores were closed 

It was a different life 

When we were boys and girls 

Not just a different time 

It was a different world 

It was a different life 

When we were boys and girls 

Not just a different time 

It was a different world 

It was a different world
