That Was Us Lyrics - Adam Brand

Twenty dollars out of mumma's purse bought us a tank of gas 

And a pack of tobacco when we were just teenage kids 

Me and Jack and Danny we'd go driving around 

If there was trouble to be found then we found it quick 

Chuckin' doughnuts in the field 

'Till old man Smith would call the cops 

He'd come running out with a shotgun 

'Cause we were running down his crops 

And I reckon he's still wondering who that was 

But that was us 

Now some of those local boys moved on but we never changed a bit 

Never had a scrap 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 that we're not dead

'Cause somebody said they saw some boys 

With a ute looked just like mine 

Trying to pull down that old water tank 

That sits out by the railway line 

And people wonder why it leans the way it does 

Well that was us 

Seems like small towns never change 

But things get tough when times get hard 

And they said when he got sick 

That old man Smith would have lost that farm 

'Cause he was getting way behind on all his bills 

'Till someone came and brought his crops in from the fields 

Yeah and folks 'round here still don't know who that was 

That was us
