That Was Us Songtext
von Emerson Drive

There′s an old abandoned warehouse on the way into town
Broken out glass still lays on the ground
That '69 Buick still stuck in the field
Some backseat stories and those rusted out wheels
There′s Joe's Mini Mart, man that poor guy's seen
His share of shoplifters and fake IDs
There′s a crop of new freshmen running Coach Riley′s plays
He's a madman with a whistle, yeah he′ll blow it in your face
That high school gym has a banner on the wall
A trophy in a case, yeah the plaque says it all

That was us having fun
Who says youth is wasted on the young?
Glory days come and go so we just made the most
Of the years that we call growing up
That was us


Between rivalries and our hometown pride
Since Del Mar's downer on the county line
One wrong word and a fist would fly
After football games on a Friday night
Cops didn′t bother to wait for a call
They just showed up ready for a small town brawl

That was us having fun
Who says youth is wasted on the young?
Glory days come and go so we just made the most
Of the years that we call growing up
That was us

Alcohol on your breath, mama worried to death
Muscle cars breaking hearts, even some of them ours
Petty and Strait on the same cassette tape
Falling in love or in lust
That was us

That was us having fun
Who says youth is wasted on the young?
Glory days come and go so we just made the most
Of the years that we call growing up
That was us
Yeah
That was us
Whoa
