That Was Us

Verse 1-
We'd spend all day
Sinking our toes down in that Indian clay
Out by the lake
Picking black berries
And stuffing our face
With a little crooked grin
all of them
Laughin again and again

Chorus-
That was us
Growin up
Acting tough
Tryin to run
Before we learned how to walk
Out in that California sun
Talk that talk
Couldn't tell us nothing
We didn't already know
Growin up
That was us

Verse 2-
Stayin out all night
Raising hell
Try to make it home
Before the moon fell
Layin under a blanket of stars
Hittin every mud hole
Let's see how fast this old thing will go
Oh

Chorus-
That was us
Growin up
Acting tough
Tryin to run
Before we learned how to walk
Out in that California sun
Talk that talk
Couldn't tell us nothing
We didn't already know
Growin up
That was us

Verse 3-
There were a lot of crazy times
Ain't funny how it flies by
When you're young
Like a bullet shot from a gun
Oh

Chorus-
That was us
Growin up
Acting tough
Tryin to run
Before we learned how to walk
Out in that California sun
Talk that talk
Couldn't tell us nothing
We didn't already know
Growin up
That was us
