That Was Us

I got my mail today, this economy sucks

A buncha bills I can't pay, I guess they're sh*t outta luck

But there was one from an old friend, brought back memories

A black and white from way back when

Was hard to believe that was us

That was us ridin' dirt roads

Shootin' buckshot at signs

Drinkin' beer we just stole

Passin' jugs full of shine

Even them girls were one of them boys

Singin' old country gold

'Til we all lost our voice

That was us

Every once in a while we'll catch a game or a race

But catchin' up on old times turns into hell that we raised

We'll start re-tellin' stories and lies we've rehearsed

About the girls we made out with and how badass we were

That was us, that was us

That was us down in Panama cruisin' the strip

In the bed of my truck tossin' beads and talkin' sh*t

Shotgunnin' beer, playin' pong and flip cup

We never lost senior year, we tore them son b*tches up

That was us

That was us

And we'll always remember those of us that we miss

We'll always be brothers and we'll never forget

But that was us that we carried, with tears in our eyes

When the rest of us are buried, we're throwin' down in the sky

So raise a glass to the memories that won't ever die

Here's to friends, here's to family and one hell of a time

Yeah, here's to us

Here's to us

Yeah here's to us

Yeah here's to us
