|
| We didn’t have it all but we all thought we did

|

| Mirar las estrellas (mirar las estrellas)
|

|
| Time of our lives, we had a much as all the other kids
| Tiempo de nuestras vidas, tuvimos tanto como todos los otros niños
|
| Maybe that’s why we thought we were rich
| Tal vez por eso pensábamos que éramos ricos
|
| We didn’t have it all but we all thought we did
| No lo teníamos todo, pero todos pensamos que sí.
|
| And I remember Mama saying we’re blessed and I believed her
| Y recuerdo a mamá diciendo que somos bendecidos y yo le creí
|
| I never thought the grass was greener
| Nunca pensé que la hierba fuera más verde
|
| On the other side of our old chain link fence
| Al otro lado de nuestra vieja cerca de alambre

| Yeah, we were rich
| Sí, éramos ricos
|
| Got a few more dollars in my pocket
| Tengo unos cuantos dólares más en mi bolsillo
|
| Since the day I left that cotton town

|
| For everything we had in that house
| Por todo lo que teníamos en esa casa
|
| 'Cause we were rich
| Porque éramos ricos
|

| Y mamá siempre decía que éramos bendecidos y yo le creí
|
| I never thought the grass was greener
| Nunca pensé que la hierba fuera más verde
