We Were Rich - New Version

During this nostalgic tune, Runaway June recall their time growing up when life was so much simpler. Once a year we'd drive out to the nearest KOA And we'd light a fire Stare at the stars And play flashlight tag with the people in the tent there next to ours The trio recall how despite not having much money they still enjoyed themselves, so they thought themselves to be rich.

Nashville songwriters Ross Copperman, Nicolle Galyon and Ashley Gorley penned the tune. Runaway June's Naomi Cooke recalled to The Boot when they heard the demo it immediately felt like their childhood homes. "When that song got played, it was towards the end of the day, and there was a line that came in," she recalled. "I have 10 brothers and sisters - I'm from a big, big family - and we were really poor growing up. We only had one bathroom. And there's a line that says, 'One bathroom sink. We all took turns.'" Cooke added that she started crying and with tears pouring from her eyes said they've got to record the song. The other two band members agreed.

Runaway June dropped an updated version of "We Were Rich" on June 29, 2020 as the third single from Blue Roses. The release includes new band member Natalie Stovall, who replaced Hannah Mulholland the previous month.
