We Were Rich

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Reynold's route, old rabbit ears TV tray, back in the day We'd watch the Wonder Years Oh, Wagoneer, wood panel doors We wore out our old jeans That were faded from the store And that old couch We'd pull the cushions off if we found 50 cents We'd go crazy, we thought we were rich Mmm [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 a plate when it was time to give They'd put in a twenty, I thought we were rich [Chorus] We didn't have it all, but we all 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 Mm-hmm [Verse 3] I never saw New York, never took a plane Once a year, we'd drive out to the nearest KOA And we'd light a fire (We'd light a fire) Stare at the stars (Stare at the stars) And play flashlight tag with the people in the tent there next to ours Time of our lives, we had a much as all the other kids Maybe that's why we thought we were rich [Chorus] We didn't have it all, but we all thought we did And I remember Mama sayin', "We're 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 And back there they all think I made it God knows I'd trade it For everything we had in that house 'Cause we were rich Yeah, we were rich [Chorus] We didn't have it all, but we all thought we did And Mama always said that we were blessed, and I believed her I never thought the grass was greener On the other side of our old chain link fence Yeah, we were rich Yeah, we were rich Mm, we were rich Yeah, we were rich Mm-hmm
