A Different World Lyrics

Just after midnight in a midsummer storm

A blue eyed baby boy bounced into this world

But that occurred , so long ago

But That's the word , or so I was told

A different world

A different time

So long ago

So far down the line

Way down a dusty Arkansas road

Out in the cotton fields the rhythm was slow

Heat waves rippled over bone dry fields

While The summer sun refused to yield

Yeah, it was

A different world

A different time

So long ago

So far down the line

Time had its turns and twists in the plot

Long before I was even a thought

Down that old dusty road

On some day long ago

So long ago

Mississippi county September fair

Smoke from the cotton gin hung in the air

Off in the distance out near Walker Park

Carnival sounds echoed through the dark

Yeah, it was

A different world

A different time

So long ago

But once it was mine

A different world

A different time

So long ago

So far down the line

There's a journey written

In the lines of your face

From when the world

Was a much

Different place

A different world
