We Were Rich New Version by Runaway June Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Reynolds wrap on rabbit ears
TV trays, back in the day we watched The Wonder Years
Old Wagoneer, wood panel doors
We wore out our own jeans, they weren't faded from the store
And that old couch, we'd pull the cushions off
If we found fifty cents
We'd go crazy, we thought we were rich
[Verse 2]
One-bathroom sink, we’d all take turns
Once a week, go out to eat for pizza after church
And that old church, red carpet floors
Same old navy paisley tie daddy always wore
And we'd sing hymns they’d pass the platе when it was time to give
Thеy'd put in a twenty, I thought we were...
[Chorus]
Rich
We didn't have it all but we all we thought we did
And Mama always said that we were blessed and I believed her
Never thought the grass was greener
On the other side of our old chain link fence
Yeah we were rich
[Verse 3]
I never saw New York, never took a plane
Once a year we drove out to the nearest KOA
And we'd light a fire, stare at the stars
And play flashlight tag with the people in the tent there next to ours
Time of our lives
We had as much as all the other kids
Maybe that's why we thought we were…
[Chorus]
Rich
We didn't have it all but we all we thought we did
And I remember Mama sayin we were blessed and I believed her
Never thought the grass was greener
On the other side of our old chain link fence
Yeah we were rich
[Bridge]
Got a few more dollars in my pocket
Since the day I left that cotton town
Back there they all think I made it
But God knows I'd trade it
For everything that we had in that house
Cause we were rich
Yeah we were..
[Chorus]
Rich
We didn't have it all but we all we thought we did
And Mama always said that we were blessed and I believed her
Never thought the grass was greener
On the other side of our old chain link fence
Yeah we were rich
Reynolds wrap on rabbit ears
TV trays, back in the day we watched The Wonder Years
Old Wagoneer, wood panel doors
We wore out our own jeans, they weren't faded from the store
And that old couch, we'd pull the cushions off
If we found fifty cents
We'd go crazy, we thought we were rich
