Adam Brand - That Was Us Lyrics
Twenty dollars out of mumma's purse bought us a tank of gasAnd a pack of tobacco when we were just teenage kidsMe and Jack and Danny we'd go driving aroundIf there was trouble to be found then we found it quickChuckin' doughnuts in the field'Till old man Smith would call the copsHe'd come running out with a shotgun'Cause we were running down his cropsAnd I reckon he's still wondering who that wasBut that was usNow some of those local boys moved on but we never changed a bitNever had a scrap of sense, least that's what some folks saidThen we finally turned old enough to buy our own beerDon't remember much about that year, just lucky that we're not dead'Cause somebody said they saw some boysWith a ute looked just like mineTrying to pull down that old water tankThat sits out by the railway lineAnd people wonder why it leans the way it doesWell that was usSeems like small towns never changeBut things get tough when times get hardAnd they said when he got sickThat 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 fieldsYeah and folks 'round here still don't know who that wasThat was usChuckin' doughnuts in the fields'Till old man Smith would call the copsHe'd come running out with a shotgun'Cause we were running down his cropsSomebody said they saw some boysWith a ute looked just like mineTrying to pull down that old water tankThat sits out by the railway lineThat was usThat was us
