            C                          F                    C 
 Twenty dollars out of momma's purse bought us a tank of gas
                         F                            C G 
 And a pack of tobacco when, we was just teenage kids.
 C                          F               C 
 Me and Jack and Danny we'd go driving round
                                 F                             C 
 If there was trouble to be found, heh, then we found it quick.
 
               Am               G                          C          
 Cuttin' donuts in the fields ??till old man Smith would call the cops
                           Am                        G  
 And he'd come running out with a shotgun ??cause we was
 C                      
 Running down his crops.
      Dm                         Em            F G 
 And I reckon he's still wonderin who that was,
 N/C C F G
 That was us.
 
                        C                           F        C 
 Some of these local boys moved on but we never changed a bit
                      F                                           C G 
 Never had a scr*p of sense, at least that's what some folks said.
               C                       F              C 
 Yeah we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer
                               F                               C 
 Don't remember about that year, just lucky that were not dead.
 
                Am                G                          C            
 ??Cause somebody said they saw some boys with a ute looked just like mine
                           Am                         G                    C 
 Trying to pull down that old water tank that sits out by the railway line.
             Dm                   Em        F G 
 People wonder why it leans the way it does.
 N/C C F G
 That was us.
 
               Am                             G                              C 
 Seems like small towns never change but things get tough when times get hard
               Am                       G                      C       
 And they say when he got sick, old man Smith would have lost that farm
                       Am                G         C 
 ??Cause he was getting way behind on all his bills
               Am                                     G   C 
 But someone came and brought his crops in from the fields
 Dm                                        Em         F G 
 Yeah folks ??round here still don't know who that was
 N/C C F G C F G
 That was us.
 
              Am               G                          C           
 Cuttin' donuts in the fields ??till old man Smith would call the cops
                           Am                        G  
 And he'd come running out with a shotgun ??cause we was
 C                      
 Running down his crops.
