Emerson Drive - That Was Us lyrics

There's an old abandoned warehouse on the way into town Broken out gla** still lays on the ground That old '69 Buick's still stuck in the field Some backseat stories in those rusted out wheels And there's Joe's Minimart, man, that poor guy has seen His share of shoplifters and fake IDs There's a crop of new freshman runnin' Coach Riley's place 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 havin' 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 growin' 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 says youth is wasted on the young Glory days come and go So we just made the most of the years That we call growin' up That was us Alcohol on your breath, Mama worried to d**h Muscle cars, breaking hearts , even some of 'em ours Petty and Strait on the same ca**ette tape Fallin' in love or in lust, that was us That was us havin' 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 growin' up That was us, yeah, that was us, woah
