I've got my mail today, this economy sucks A bunch of bills I can't pay, I guess they're shit out of luck But there was one from an old friend, brought back memories A black and white from way back when Was hard to believe that was us That was us ridin' dirt roads Shootin' buckshot at signs Drinkin' beer we just stole Passin' jugs full of shine Even them girls were one of them boys Singin' old country gold 'Til we all lost our voice That was us ♪ Every once in a while we'll catch a game or a race But catchin' up on old times turns into hell that we raised We'll start re-tellin' stories, and lies we've rehearsed About the girls we made out with, and how badass we were That was us That was us That was us down in Panama cruisin' the strip In the bed of my truck tossin' beads and talkin' shit Shotgunnin' beer, playin' pong and flip cup We never lost senior year, we tore them son bitches up That was us ♪ That was us
And we'll always remember those of us that we miss We'll always be brothers, and we'll never forget But that was us that we carried with tears in our eyes When the rest of us are buried, we're throwin' down in the sky So raise a glass to the memories that won't 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
