Alright, well I rolled in town with the rag top down   I was looking' for that home coming queen   That three by nine lit hotel sign read   Welcome back class of eighty-three      There were football guys twice their size   Cheerleaders hiding the grey in their hair   The names were the same but the faces had changed   I didn't recognize anyone there      That used to be us, we used to be cool   With the music cranked up, hangin' out after school   That used to be chill, that used to be joke   Tell me where in the world did we all go   That used to be us, oh that used to be us      I had a drink with some buds   Played a lot of catch up   Danced with my date from the prom   But as hard as I tried until I closed my eyes   Everybody I knew was gone      There was Mr. Finch, he taught English and French   He was dancing with a couple of canes   And that home coming queen, yea the girl of my dreams   She didn't even remember my name      That used to be us, we used to be cool   With the music cranked up, hangin' out after school   That used to be chill, that used to be joke   Tell me where in the world did we all go?   That used to be us      As I stand here and look around   I can't help but wonder   Who will be ten years from now      That used to be us, we used to be cool   With the music cranked up, hangin' out after school   That used to be chill, that used to be joke   Tell me where in the world did we all go   That used to be us, oh that used to be us   That used to be us, that used to be us
