Writing prompt was chasing dreams.

I Was So Much Richer 

                    Walt Sample                        

I thought I was chasing my dreams but I was only collecting dollars 

Climbed the ladder to the top but I was chokin' under the white collar 

Couldn't breathe didn't feel alive life was just passing me by 

Felt like a scare crow stuffed with money I was hollow inside 

Oh I was so much richer when all I had was friends

Oh I was so much  richer when all I  had to spend

Was time with them

I had too much of everything but it still wasn't enough 

Red corvettes hundred foot yacht diamonds on my cuffs 

Bought low sold high like a glutton I wanted all the pie 

Then I found out there are some things money just can’t buy 

Oh I was so much richer when all I had was friends

Oh I was so much  richer when all I  had to spend

Was time with them
