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