That's us, haulin' hay in the field with the radio on.

In my mind, I can still see us now, ridin' down Buck Island Road.

We thought tobacco and beer in a can
G
Was all it would take to be like our old man.

In our lives?   Fallin' in and out of love, we rode in trucks.

Chorus 2

That's us with our tailgates down in the parking lot.

That's us with mud on our tires when it rained a lot.
