That Was Us - Tracy Lawrence
Twenty dollars out mama's purse bought us a tank gas
And some red man tobacco when we was just teenage kids
Yeah me in my hole buddy Leroy we'd go driving around
There was trouble to be found man in dang sure did
Cutting donuts in the field 'till old man Smith would call cops
And he'd come running out with a shotgun
'Cause we was running down his crops
I reckon he still wonders who that was
That was us
Some of those local boys moved on but we never changed a bit
Don't guess we had enough sense least that's some folks said
Yeah we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer
Don't remember much about that year lucky we ain't dead
'Cause somebody said they saw some boys with a truck looked just like mine
Trying to pull down that old water tank sits out on the county line
People wonder why it leans the way does
That was us
Seems like small towns never change but thing get tough when times get hard
And they said when he got sick
That old man Smith would lost that farm
'Cause he was getting way behind on all his bills
But someone came and brought his crops in from the fields
Yeah folks 'round here still don't know who that was
That was us
Cutting donuts in the field 'till old man Smith would call cops
And he'd come running out with a shotgun
'Cause we was running down his crops
Somebody said they saw some boys with a truck looked just like mine
Trying to pull down that old water tank sits out on the county line
That was us
Yeah that was us
