Back When We Was Kids Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

Well I grew up in the shadow of the Rockies in the grand old West yes sir I did 

And dammed if we didn't have us a bunch of fun back when we was kids 

Yea there was manure on our britches snuff pouchin' out our lip 

And hat's so big you can almost tell who's under it 

Yea we all had horses it was always a race 

It was real important who got there first 

We sneak along some of the old man's whisky just to quench our little thirst 

Yeah we looked like a bunch of hon yaks but we could ride like Casy Tibbs 

And we still had to learn how far we could go before we learned when to quit 

Yea we scratched where it itches and clowned around 

There wasn't nobody who could kick our hound 

Just throwin' knives and shootin' guns generally have in a bunch of fun 

Well the mommas all thought we were angels and hell we let 'em go right ahead 

But the old man had a hew more savvy in him 

And a feller had to be careful around him 

Yea wars were fought on contact and the wild seeds were sown 

And we always spent our money like we found it in the road 

Well one thing lead to another and before we knowned it it was gone 

But I'll give you a hundred dollars just to have some more of them goings on 

Cause we looked like a bunch... 

Yea it's a lot of fun learning how far you can go 

It's kinda hard learning when to quit but I'll bet you already know
