Preach on, Bucky

Different World – 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


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

Mom, Dad & Richard - thank you for my childhood and 
all the happy memories of my youth
