We Were There

(oh, oh)

A jump off bridge down off 93

Cigarette burn in Dad's front seat

Six-pack under bleachers on a Friday night

Sunday preacher givin' us the eye

We were there

We lit that fire on it

We spun our tires on it

Up and down every black top road, so everyone would know

We were there

We left our mark on it

And we wrote our names on it

Graffiti painted small town big, so no one would forget

We were there (oh, oh)

Parkin' lots, gettin' high

And 12 gauge shot in every speed limit sign

A garage band concert at the county fair

They shut us down 'cause we played too loud

But we had that crowd just singin'

We were there

We lit that fire on it

We spun our tires on it

Up and down every black top road, so everyone would know

We were there

We left our mark on it

And we wrote our names on it

Graffiti painted small town big, so no one would forget

We were there

Yeah, we drove through it

Ran through it, lived through it (we were there)

Yeah, we all got chased through it (didn't care)

All I wanted was just to leave

A little hometown history

We were local Kings and Queens

We were there

We lit that fire on it

We spun our tires on it

Up and down every black top road, so everyone would know

We were there

We left our mark on it

And we wrote our names on it

Graffiti painted small town big, so no one would forget

We were there (yeah, we drove through it)

(Ran through it, lived through it)

Oh, we were there (yeah, we all got chased through it)

We were there (all I wanted was just to leave -)

(A little hometown history)

We were there (we were local Kings and Queens)

We were there (oh, oh)

(Oh, oh)
