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
