That Was Us

Me and Teddy used to burn that old Chevy

All the way up to Mary Lee's

One of the guy's, a kinda ride or die

And we were thick as thieves

The whole damn town said when we come around

We're mean as a four letter word

Up to no good fun, though we didn't have much

Just a whole lotta time to burn

So if we got high, we got stoned

If there was a fire, we got it on

If there was a backseat, we made love

That was then and that was us

We crossed the county line for a kegger one night

And some girls we had never seen

Teddy had his eye locked on a dime

Mary said she was looking at me

Standing there sipping on a smoke

And a cheap ass bottle of rum

She said, my name's Kate, you're my kind of crazy

And it takes one to know one

So if we got high, we got stoned

If there was a fire, we got it on

If there was a backseat, we made love

That was then and that was us

Mary Lee started hanging, started talking

With a boy with a checkered past

It wasn't long before he showed his true colors

And he left her all blue and black

Cops stopped us running ninety

With a loaded pistol and a bottle of booze

And it's a good damn thing the blue lights got us

Before we did what we's gon' do

So if we got high, we got stoned

If there was a fire, we got it on

If there was a backseat, we made love

That was then and that was us

If we got high, yeah, you know we gonna roll it up

We got high, yeah, you know we got stoned

There was a fire, yeah, you know we gon' pack a punch

There's a fire, we got it on

In the back of the seat, you know we got tangled up

Back of the seat, you know we made love

That was then and that's still us
