Intro – D  G  A  D  G  A


           D                      Dsus4           
The twenty dollars out of momma’s purse bought us 
  Asus4          A            G
A tank of gas and some Redman tobacco when
             D               A
We were just teenage kids
    D                   Dsus4                 Asus4
And me and my ole buddy Leroy we’d go drivin’ around
   A                    G                    D                A
If there was trouble to be found then man we dang sure did

        Bm            F#m              Bm                   G
Cuttin’ donuts in the field so old man Smith would call the cops
          Bm                 F#m
He’d come runnin’ out with a shotgun cause we was 
Bm               G
Runnin’ down his crops 
                        Asus4                   A
And I reckon He’s still wonderin’ who that was 
N/C                   D   G  A
But that was us

                  D                Dsus4           Asus4 
Now some of these local boys moved on but we never changed a bit
A           G                                    D              A
Never had a lick of sense Least that’s what some folks said
     D                Dsus4              Asus4         A
Then we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer
                      G
I don’t remember much ‘bout that year
                D                 A
Just lucky that we ain’t dead

                 

         Bm            F#m              Bm                     G
Somebody said they saw some boys with a truck looked just like mine
          Bm             F#m                  Bm                G
Tryin’ to pull down that old water tank Sit’s out on the county line
                         Asus4                     A
And people wonder why it leans the way it does
N/C                  D  G  A  
But that was us


            Bm                F#m                    
Seam’s like small towns never change 
               Bm                   G
But things get tough when times get hard
         Bm               F#m                    
And they said when he got sick 
             Bm                       G
That old man smith would of lost that farm

Cuase he was gettin’ way behind on all his bills

Someone came and brought his crops in from the fields
   
Yeh folks ‘round here still don’t know who that was
                          D  G  A  D                        
But that was us…….yeh that was us……………

D  G  A  D  
        That was us
              Cuttin donuts in the fields till old man Smith would call the cops
That was us
       Comes runnin out with a shotgun cause we was runnin down his crops
That was us
       Somebody said they saw some boys with a truck looked just like mine
That was us
       Tryin to pull down that ole water tank sits out on the county line
That was us
