That Was Us Lyrics

Twenty dollars out of mumma's purse bought us a tank of gas

And a pack of tobacco when we were just teenage kids

Me and Jack and Danny we'd go driving around

If there was trouble to be found then we found it quick

Chuckin' doughnuts in the field

'Till old man Smith would call the cops

He'd come running out with a shotgun

'Cause we were running down his crops

And I reckon he's still wondering who that was

But that was us

Now some of those local boys moved on but we never changed a bit

Never had a scrap of sense, least that's what some folks said

Then we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer

Don't remember much about that year, just lucky that we're not dead

'Cause somebody said they saw some boys

With a ute looked just like mine

Trying to pull down that old water tank

That sits out by the railway line

And people wonder why it leans the way it does

Well that was us

Seems like small towns never change

But things get tough when times get hard

And they said when he got sick

That old man Smith would have lost that farm

'Cause he was getting way behind on all his bills

'Till someone came and brought his crops in from the fields

Yeah and folks 'round here still don't know who that was

That was us

Chuckin' doughnuts in the fields

'Till old man Smith would call the cops

He'd come running out with a shotgun

'Cause we were running down his crops

Somebody said they saw some boys

With a ute looked just like mine

Trying to pull down that old water tank

That sits out by the railway line

That was us

That was us
