That Was Us Lyrics - Randy Travis

Twenty dollars out of momma's purse bough 

us a tank of gas 

And some Redman tobacco 

when we were just teenage kids 

Me and my old buddy Leroy, 

we'd go driving around 

If there was trouble to be found, 

then man we dang sure did it 

Cutting doughnuts in the fields 

'Till old man Smith would call the cops 

He'd come runnin' down his crops 

And I reckon he's still wonderin' who that was 

But that was us

Now some of these old local boys moved on 

but we never changed a bit 

Never had a lick of sense, least that's what 

some folks said 

Then we finally turned old enough to buy our 

own beer 

Don't remember much about that year, 

just lucky we ain't dead 

'Cause somebody said they saw some boys 

With a truck looked just like mine 

Tryin' to pull down that old water tank 

That sits out on the country line 

And people wonder why it leans the way it does 

That was us 

Photos 

Seems like small towns never change 

But things get tough when times get hard 

And they said when he got sick 

Old man Smith would've lost the farm 

'Cause he was getting' way behind on all his bills 

'Till somebody brought his crops in from the fields 

Yeah and folks 'round here still woneder who 

that was 

That was us
