That Was Us

Written by Tony Lane/Craig Wiseman

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