Capo 1
*VERSE*
EGot my mail today,
BJust the kind that miss us
C#mA bunch of bills I can't pay,
I guess their sAhit outta luck.
EBut there was one from an old friend,
BBrought back memories
C#mBlack and white from way back when
AIt was hard to believe tBhat was us!
*CHORUS*
EThat was us riding' dirt roads,
BShooting buckshot at signs,
C#mDrinking beer we just stole,
APassing jugs full of shine,
ELeave them girls wiBth one of them boys.
C#mSinging' old country gold
ATill we all lost our voice,
EThat was us!
In once an a while, we'll catch a game or a race,
Catching up on old times turns into hell that we raised,
We'll start re-telling stories, and lies we've rehearsed,
About the girls we made out with,
And how badass we were,
That was us!
That was us down in Panama, cruising the strip,
In the bed of my truck tossing beads and talking shit.
Shot gun and beer, playing pong and flip cup,
Ive never lost seeing you, toring some bitches up,
That was us!
That was us!
Man we'll always remember those of us have
We'll always be brothers and we'll never forget,
That that was us that we carry the tears in our eyes,
When the rest of us are buried but throwing down in the sky,
So raise a glass to the memories,
That wont ever die,
Here's to friends, here's to family
And one hell of a time!
Yeah, here's to us!
Here's to us!
Here's to us!
Yeah, here's to us!

Singing' old country gold

Till we all lost our voice,

That was us!

In once an a while, we'll catch a game or a race,

Catching up on old times turns into hell that we raised,

We'll start re-telling stories, and lies we've rehearsed,

About the girls we made out with,

And how badass we were,

That was us!

That was us down in Panama, cruising the strip,

In the bed of my truck tossing beads and talking shit.

Shot gun and beer, playing pong and flip cup,

Ive never lost seeing you, toring some bitches up,

That was us!

Man we'll always remember those of us have

We'll always be brothers and we'll never forget,

That that was us that we carry the tears in our eyes,

When the rest of us are buried but throwing down in the sky,

So raise a glass to the memories,

That wont ever die,

Here's to friends, here's to family

And one hell of a time!

Yeah, here's to us!

Here's to us!

Yeah, here's to us!
