Live Like I’m Rich
Live Like I’m Rich
[Verse 1]
My friends all say that I’m delusional
Living like a famous face in Hollywood
I drive my beat-up Ford down Sunset strip
Waving at the little people ’cause I’m hip
[Chorus]
Gonna Live Like I’m Rich
Even if it ain’t true
Gonna Live Like I’m Rich
Be a really cool person just like you
[Verse 2]
I was born to be a king can ya tell?
Even if my life sucks and everything’s gone to hell
Got a two-bit apartment miles from Beverly Hills
I’m wearing yesterday’s fashions but my looks can kill
[Chorus]
Gonna Live Like I’m Rich
Even if it ain’t true
Even if it ain’t true
[Chorus]
Gonna Live Like I’m Rich
Even if it ain’t true
Gonna be somebody
A really cool person just like you
Gonna Live Like I’m Rich
Even if it ain’t true
Gonna Live Like I’m Rich
A really cool person just like you
Just like you

Song Story:
Once upon a time. In a land not so far away. There lived a musician who was hired to sing a song written by a colleague. The writers already knew the song would appear in a movie titled “Material Girls.” Factually speaking “Live Like I’m Rich” was written specifically for that movie by John Henry and Wes Boatman. John called me up and asked if I would sing it. Obviously you already know my response as I’m credited with it at this point – so that answer obviously was yes. Once it came out in theaters I was surprised at the number of teen and pre-teen girls that were hunting me down on Myspace because of this song. These are the official lyrics as I sang them in the song and in the movie. Enjoy!
Factoids:
1. This was the first time I was specifically hired to sing a song for a movie.
2. John Henry was a composer for daytime TV.
3. Made me oddly popular with pre-teen girls when the movie was in theaters.
