That Was Us Lyrics

Twenty dollars out of momma's purse

Bought us a tank of gas some Redman tobacco

When we were just teenage kids

Me and my old buddy Johnny we'd go riding around

If there was trouble to be found

But man we dang sure did

Cutting donuts 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

And I reckon he's still wondering who that was

Well that was us

Now some of these local boys moved on

But we never changed a bit

Don't guess we had enough sense

Least that's what folks said,

Then we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer

Don't remember much about that year

But lucky we ain't dead

Cause somebody said they saw some boys with a truck looked just like mine Justin McBride - That Was Us - http://motolyrics.com/justin-mcbride/that-was-us-lyrics.html

Tryin' to pull down that old water tank

Sits out by the county 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 gettin way behind on all his bills

Till someone came and brought his crops in from the fields

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

But that was us

Yeah that was us

Come out with a shotgun cause we were running down his crops

That was us

Somebody says they saw boys with a truck looked just like mine

That was us

Tryin' to pull down that old water tank sits out on the county line

That was us
