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