they were barely 21

the world said wait but they were too in love

sold that family hand me down gun for a diamond

a beat up truck that would barely go

a double wide with a hole in the floor

40 hour weeks barely made ends meet, but they were trying

didnt have a comma in their bank account but they’d find out

they were rich

as two young kids could get

saving pennies in a foldgers can, in the kitchen too in love to know what they were missing listing dreams

like nothing was out of reach

drawing

out a blueprint on a napkin working overtime to make it happen may not have had a lot, but to them they were rich

 

before they knew it two pink lines

turned into those sleepless nights

trying to figure out how they would make it

he comes home tired but that all fades

when little pigtails run his way

when it comes bedtime she folds her hands prayin’ the smile on their face says they’ve made it

they were rich

as two young kids could get

saving pennies in a foldgers can, in the kitchen too in love to know what they were missing listing dreams

like nothing was out of reach

sketching out a blueprint on a napkin

working overtime to make it happen

may not have had a lot, but to them

they were rich

well they finally built that blueprint

got a few more bucks to spend

but it sure don’t beat the days when....

they were rich

as two young kids could get

like nothing was out of reach

sketching out a blueprint on a napkin

working overtime to make it happen

may not have had a lot, but to them

they were rich
