A World of Difference

[good4somethingbum]

A World of DifferenceLooked like that flight was gonna be delayedSo I hit the airport lounge to waitAnd a guy sat beside me dressed in tweed and argyleHe had a blue tooth…I had a gold toothHe drank a SeaBreeze and I had a draftThen he leaned my way lookin’ to jaw awhilewell, I almost started yawnin’Didn’t think we’d have much in commonYou wouldn’t think it to look at us, between us there wasA world of difference like night and dayHe had a yacht in Tampa BayI’ve got a hunting shack in Santa FeI like Six Flags, he likes DisneyI like Waylon, he likes Kenny ChesneyO it takes all kinds to make a worldAnd that world is a world of differenceWe talked hoops and the Sopranos for a timeThen our mouths spilled what was on our minds‘bout our great nation and what should be doneAre soldiers soldiers if they question whyIt’s kin and spouses who curse the fightTill freedom rings and the battle’s wonWe talked wrong n right, black n whiteCos where I’m from don’t ask don’t tell’s only appliedTo mama’s mystery stew and maybe her meatloaf, tooWe had a world of difference like north n southHe liked sushi and dining outI like outdoor livin’ and fryin’ troutHe liked Starbucks at the mega mallI hang out at the old Oddfellows hallO it takes all kinds to make a worldAnd that world is a world of differenceWe said goodbye and shook handsCos it was time for that plane to landI hugged my kid brother home from the warAnd saw that guy kissin’ a gal in uniformI learned light shines in different shadesI‘d made a good friend and that madeA world of difference…a world of difference…©2007 Robert George
