I got my mail today,
|
Just the kind that miss us
|
A bunch of bills I can't pay,
|
I guess their shit outta luck.
|
But there was one from an old friend,
|
Brought back memories
|
Black and white from way back when
|
It was hard to believe that was us!
|
|
That was us riding' dirt roads,
|
Shooting buckshot at signs,
|
Drinking beer we just stole,
|
Passing jugs full of shine,
|
Leave them girls with one of them boys.
|
Singing' old country gold
|
Till we all lost our voice,
|
That was us!
|
|
In once an a while, we'll catch a game or a race,
|
Catching up on old times turns into hell that we raised,
|
We'll start re-telling stories, and lies we've rehearsed,
|
About the girls we made out with,
|
And how badass we were,
|
That was us!
|
|
That was us down in Panama, cruising the strip,
|
In the bed of my truck tossing beads and talking shit.
|
Shot gun and beer, playing pong and flip cup,
|
I've never lost seeing you, toring some bitches up,
|
That was us!
|
That was us!
|
|
Man we'll always remember those of us have
|
We'll always be brothers and we'll never forget,
|
That that was us that we carry the tears in our eyes,
|
When the rest of us are buried but throwing 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!
|
Here's to us!
|
Yeah, here's to us!
|

That Was Us
