For Wom and others of our....era LOL!

This thread is sort of a spin-off of the *Water and Coke* thread (which I started to hijack ) so I think this topic deserves its own thread. The following lyrics are by a new country singer on the scene, named Bucky Covington and I liked this song the minute I heard it. It does bring back memories but they were good ones.

It Was A Different World
We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our cribs were 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 were friends and they were outside
Playing 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 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 were 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 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

Remember the days when you went out to play with your friends in the morning and went home in the evening when you were hungry.........no phone calls or texts to Mum and Dad in those days

Ahhhh! This is so true. I hear all the whining going on around us and I think back to those days. What has happened to the people in this country? Too bad we can't send some of those people back for a few days to live like we did just for an enlightening

I imagine you learned over time that there were better ways to get the attention of the young ladies.

In an Australian sort of a way....yes.
Brody's Mom could probably warn you of the perils of associating with Aussies

Had three TV channels you got up to change

I remember before TV so three channels were a big deal.
All the rest, so true!

Our first TV was a tiny black and white little thing. My mom tells stories about sitting around the radio at night listening to programs.

Hey I am not that old

I resemble that remark!! Just kidding.

I lived in the days when people from ALL walks of life could live in harmony (I was brought up in the projects) with no drugs, gunfire, violence. Boy times have sure changed, haven't they???
