Just Us Kids Lyrics - Live In Europe - James Mcmurtry

I've had enough of this small town bullshit 

I'm not stayin' in school 

I'm makin' good dough workin' with my brother 

Cleanin' out pools 

I'm going out to California 

And man it won't be long 

As soon as I get my license 

Color me gone 

Oh knock it off Johnny 

Man, your livin' in your head 

You ain't even got a car 

And those chicks don't believe a word ya said 

But you're doin' all the talkin' 

So I just keep quiet 

And this'll probably go no where 

But I can't blame ya for tryin' 

It's just us kids hangin' round the park at night 

Hangin' round 'neath the vapor light 

We got no drugs and we got no guns 

Not even botherin' anyone 

I don't have to wear a necktie 

I don't have to punch a clock 

I started up a dot com company 

And man it rocks 

Won't you come with me down to Mexico 

In the winter with some friends? 

My divorce will be final 

Along about then 

Meanwhile I got a gram and a real good ride 

And don't you know I hurt way down inside? 

Just us kids in the parking lot 

Out here givin' it all we got 

We don't want to get old and die 

And there ain't nothing we wouldn't try 

Ya know we could really have it all 

Our kid's gonna graduate next fall 

I could take retirement in 10 years 

It's a damn short movie 

How'd we ever get here? 

[Repeat x2] 

Just us kids hangin' out today 

Watchin' our long hair turnin' gray 

Not so skinny maybe not so free 

Not so many as we used to be 

[Repeat x3] 

Not so skinny maybe not so free 

Not so many as we used to be
