           C                       
Twenty dollars out of momma's purse
   F                           C
 bought us a tank of gas
                        F          
And a pack of tobacco when, we was 
                                C  
just teenage kids.
        G

C                          
Me and Jack and Danny we'd go 
F                        C
driving round
                                F
If there was trouble to be found, 
heh, then we found it quick.
    C


[Chorus]
              Am                G 
Cuttin' donuts in the fields 'till
                         C
 old man Smith would call the cops
                          Am    
And he'd come running out with a 
                     G
shotgun 'cause we was
C
Running down his crops.
     Dm                         Em
And I reckon he's still wonderin 
                    F            G
who that was,
N.C                   C    F    G
That was us.

[Verse]
                       C         
Some of these local boys moved on 
                  F                
but we never changed a bit
                C

                     F             
Never had a scrap of sense, at 
least that's what some folks said.
     C                G

              C                    
Yeah we finally turned old enough 
   F                            C
to buy our own beer
                              F    
Don't remember about that year, 
just lucky that were not dead.
       C

                Am                
'Cause somebody said they saw some
G                          C
 boys with a ute looked just like 
mine
                          Am       
Trying to pull down that old water 
                  G              
tank that sits out by the railway 
        C
line.
            Dm                   
People wonder why it leans the 
Em                    F          
way it does.
   G

N.C              C    F    G
That was us.
              Am                   
Seems like small towns never change
          G                        
 but things get tough when times 
        C
get hard
              Am                   
And they say when he got sick, old 
    G                      C
man Smith would have lost that farm
                       Am          
'Cause he was getting way behind on
      G                       C
 all his bills
              Am                
But someone came and brought his 
                     G             
crops in from the fields
             C

Dm                                
Yeah folks 'round here still don't
         Em                        
 know who that was
    F        G

N.C            C    F    G          
   C    F    G
That was us.

Somebody said they saw some boys

Yeah that was us.
