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