Twenty dollars out of momma's purse    Bought us a tank of gas some Redman tobacco    When we were just teenage kids    Me and my old buddy Johnny we'd go riding around    If there was trouble to be found    But man we dang sure did      Cutting donuts 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    And I reckon he's still wondering who that was    Well that was us      Now some of these local boys moved on    But we never changed a bit    Don't guess we had enough sense    Least that’s what folks said,    Then we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer    Don't remember much about that year   But lucky we ain't dead    Cause somebody said they saw some boys with a truck looked just like mine    Tryin’ to pull down that old water tank    Sits out by the county 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 gettin way behind on all his bills    Till someone came and brought his crops in from the fields    Yeah, folks round here still don't know who that was    But that was us    Yeah that was us    Come out with a shotgun cause we were running down his crops    That was us    Somebody says they saw boys with a truck looked just like mine    That was us    Tryin' to pull down that old water tank sits out on the county line    That was us
