Us Then

One, two, three, four

Well, the buildings out in Brooklyn are taller than the clouds

And I don't like who I am Sunday mornin', comin' down

Tequila out in Texas is tougher on the tongue

Than the devil that I met in Oklahoma when I's young

I miss that old ball cap you stole from me

Out in the woods around a fire in Eastern Tennessee

And the beatin' that I got from them boys in Baton Rouge

Was nothin' like the beatin' that I got from loving you

Take me back to us then

Where the time's told true

And the sun does shine on a lawn chair holding you

Take me back to us then

Where there's a warm, warm light

Radiatin' off a cheap smile

Oh ma, I could die tonight

And that creek we jumped in while you were shaking cold

I never thought such heat would grow dry and old

Takes blood and guts just to get to where we were

Put on your dancing shoes, I will be him and you be her

Take me back to us then

Where the time's told true

And the sun does shine on a lawn chair holding you

Take me back to us then

Where there's a warm, warm light

Radiatin' off a cheap smile

Oh ma, I could die tonight

Take me back to us then

There's a warm, warm light

Radiatin' off a cheap smile

Oh ma, I could die tonight
