That Was Us Lyrics

That Was Us
CAPO III
INTRO: G C D G C D
Twenty dollars out of mama's purse bought us a tank of gas
And some Redman tobacco, when we were just teenage kids
Me and my old buddy LeRoy we'd go drivin' around
If there was trouble to be found, man we dang sure did
Cuttin' donuts in the fields so Old Man Smith would call the cops
And he'd come runnin' out with a shotgun 'cause we were runnin' down his crops
And I reckon he's still wonderin' who that was
But that was us
Now some of these local boys moved on but we never changed a bit
Never had a lick of sense, 'least that's what some folks said
Then finally we turned old enough to buy our own beer
Don't remember much about that year, just lucky we ain't dead
Now somebody said they saw some boys with a truck looked just like mine
Tryin' to pull down that old watertank that sits out on the county line
And people wonder why it leans the way it does
That was us
Seems like small towns never change but things get tough when times get hard
They said when he got sick Old Man Smith woulda lost that farm
'Cause he was gettin' way behind on all his bills
'Til somebody brought his crops in from the fields
Yeah and folks 'round here still wonder who that was...
That was us
