Rich Like That

V1
Bobby’s at the Gas-N-Go, pump 4
Puttin’ 20 in the tank of his old 150
Fillin’ up on 3 was a jet black porsche
He’d only seen ‘em like that on TV
Took a minute for him to realize
Behind those shades was his old friend Jim
Bobby flashed back to high-school dreams of hittin’ it big,
And he thought, “damn,I guess one of us did”

PC1
Shiny as the car is the watch on his wrist
Just called himself James, (dang)
What happened to Jim,

and Bobby Thought

CH1
Man I wish I was rich like that
Ridin’ high and livin fast
Swipe a card and not look back
Let my feet touch greener grass
If I was rich like that
Wouldn’t trade what I have
But every now and then
I wish I was rich like that

V2
Bobby couldn’t leave without sayin’ hello
James said “What the heck, how you been”
Bobby said, i’ve been here, you know
Same fishing hole, still reeling 'em in
You remember Jenny we’re married now
He grabbed his phone to show off his kids
Said I’d love to stay and chat but there's a little boy
With a little league game, that I can’t miss

PC2
As a stick figure family on that Ford drove away
James said 8 words he never thought he’d say


CH2
Man I wish I was rich like that
Lazy days on the lake just catchin bass
As much time with my kids as my ex has
Let my feet touch greener grass
If I was rich like that
Wouldn’t trade what I have
But every now and then
I wish I was rich like that

Bridge
If time is money
But money can't buy time
Maybe Bobby's onto something
And James just saw the light

aww but that's alright

CH
We all wish we were rich like that
Lazy days on the lake just catching bass
Swipe a card and not look back
Let our feet touch greener grass
Yeah rich like that
Ridin' high and living fast
More time with the ones we love
How 'bout that
Who wouldn't wanna be
Rich like that
