Randy Travis - That Was Us Lyrics
Twenty dollars out of mama's purseBought us a tank of gasAnd some Redman TobaccoWhen we were just teenage kids.Me and my old buddy LeroyWe'd go drivin' aroundIf there was trouble to be foundOh, man we dang sure did.Cuttin' donuts in the fieldsSo old man Smith would call the copsHe'd come runnin' out with his shotgun'Cause we were runnin' down his cropsAnd I reckon he's still wonderin'Who that was, but that was us.Now some of these local boys moved onBut we never changed a bitNever had a lick of senseLeast that's what some folks said.Then finally we turned old enoughTo buy our own beerDon't remember much about that yearJuct lucky we ain't dead.Somebody said they saw some boysWith a truck looked just like mineTryin' to pull down that old water tankThat sits out on the county line.And people wonder why it leansThe way it does, that was us.--- Instrumental ---Seems like small towns never changeBut things get tough when times get hardThey said when he got sickOld man Smith would a lost that farm.'Cause he was gettin' way behindOn all his billsBut somebody brought his crops inFrom the field.Yeah, and folks around hereStill wonder who that was.That was us.That was us.That was us.That was us.That was us...
