That Was Us Lyrics

Twenty dollars out of mumma's purse bought us a tank of gas And a pack of tobacco when we were just teenage kids Me and Jack and Danny we'd go driving around If there was trouble to be found then we found it quick Chuckin' doughnuts in the field '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 But that was us Now some of those local boys moved on but we never changed a bit Never had a scrap of sense, least that's what some folks said Then we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer Don't remember much about that year, just lucky that we're not dead 'Cause somebody said they saw some boys With a ute looked just like mine Trying to pull down that old water tank That sits out by the railway 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 getting way behind on all his bills 'Till someone came and brought his crops in from the fields Yeah and folks 'round here still don't know who that was That was us Chuckin' doughnuts 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 Somebody said they saw some boys With a ute looked just like mine Trying to pull down that old water tank That sits out by the railway line That was us That was us
