Tom T. Hall - Different Feeling lyrics

She was sadder than the day she lost her mother He felt worse than the day when he was drafted She was packing and she kept her eyes diverted He was sippin' on a beer and playin' with the dog Another single word pa**ed between them a silence we affirmed that it was over And the sad eyed puppy sat there on the floor He couldn't understand the different feeling (different feeling is a mystery) ( ac.guitar ) They sold that house and each took half the money They gave that dog to his best friend's great Uncle He went back to drinkin' and carrousin' She got her old job back and she moved in with a friend Six months went by before their chance to meetin' And she wore the dress he bought her for her birthday He showed up drunk and she got mad and cried Hey they couldn't understand the different feeling (different feeling is a mystery) ( ac.guitar ) She met some guy and she moved to Ma**achussets He met a girl he liked and he remarried Later on she got married too she had a little girl and she joined the PTA They seldom ever think about each other we're both too busy of tryin' make to livin' That sad eyed puppy starved itself to d**h He couldn't understand the different feeling (Different feeling is a mystery different feeling is a mystery)
