A Different Kind Of Place Lyrics

She works down at the diner,

and the tips they barely pay.

She’s got her self two young boys

and a daughter on the way.

Her husband swings a hammer

building a rich mans home.

They’d leave this place for good,

but they don’t know where they’d go.

Don’t know where they’d go.

Hard times in a mountain town,

it always seems to change,

the rent keeps on rising,

its a different kind of place,

a different kind of place

She don’t recognize a face,

when she walks on down the street.

Her brother he left long ago,

for that oil field money.

This place keeps getting bigger

with every passing day.

Condos and homes now fill,

the fields where she once played.

Hard times in a mountain town,

it always seems to change,

the rent keeps on rising,

its a different kind of place,

a different kind of place

This place used to be nothing,

couldn’t find it on the map.

Till man with money came in,

said he’d make something out of it.

Change might be a good thing,

but here she don’t believe.

She wonders what has happened,

to this place that felt so free.

Hard times in a mountain town,

it always seems to change,

the rent keeps on rising,

its a different kind of place,

a different kind of place.
