lyrics

Well I was driving down the highway, thinking about all the mattresses and potted plants
I was thinking of those empty floors where vacuums never passed before the bed was in the living room, and Hunter's truck was parked outside
But I'll be driving home this afternoon,
And there's a new girl down the hall, but she ain't you
No she ain't you

Aw, it's a different world we live in every day

Well I just woke up in an empty house, and all that I can think about is when they're coming home,
But she's gone far away, and when she comes again some month and days from now, it won't be here that she will stay,
But I'll be driving home this afternoon,
ooh

Oh it's a different world we live in every day
Building all these bridges, while the other ones grow long and far away,
And hoping it'll all turn out okay
Aw, it's a different world we live in every day

Well their plants are by the window sill, their bodies far away,
It won't take much from me to keep 'em livin'
Aw but day to weary day as I grow long and far away, I'll keep my ear against the wall for them,

Oh it's a different world we live in every day
Building all these bridges, while the other ones grow long and far away,
And hoping it'll all turn out okay
Aw, it's a different world we live in every day
Building all these bridges, while the other ones grow long and far away,
And hoping it'll all turn out okay
Aw, it's a different world we live in every day
