Reynolds Wrap on rabbit ears
TV tray back in the day
Wed 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
Wed pull the cushions off
If we found 50 cents
Wed go crazy
We thought we were rich
Hmm, mmm
One bathroom sink, wed 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 wed sing hymns
Theyd pass a plate when it was time to give
Theyd put in a twenty
I thought we were rich
We didnt 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
Hmm, mmm
I never saw New York, never took a plane
Once a year wed drive out to the nearest KOA
And wed light a fire wed 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 thats why we thought we were rich
We didnt have it all, but we all thought we did
And I remember Mama saying 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
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 Id trade it
For everything we had in that house
Cause we were rich
Yeah, we were rich
We didnt 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
Hmm, we were rich
Yeah, we were rich
Hmm, mmm
