Emerson Drive–10.That Was Us
10.That Was Us
There's an old abandoned warehouse on the way into town
Broken out glass still lays on the ground
That old 69 Buick's still stuck in that field
There's some back seat stories in those rusted out wheels
And there's Joe's mini mart man that poor guy has seen
His share of shoplifters and fake id's
There's a crop of new freshman running out Coach Riley's plays
He's a madman with a whistle yeah he'll blow it in your face
In that high school gym there's a banner on the wall
A trophy in a case and the plaque says it all
That was us havin' fun
Who say 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
Sits Delmar's diner on the county line
One wrong word and our fists would fly
After football games on a Friday night
The cops didn't bother to wait for a call
They just showed up ready for a small town brawl
That was us havin' fun
Who say 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 『em ours
Petty and straight on the same cassette tape
Fallin' in love or in lust
That was us
That was us havin' fun
Who say 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
That was us
