That Was Us

Éramos Nós

That Was Us

Vinte dólares da bolsa da mamãeTwenty dollars out of momma's purse
Comprou um tanque de gasolina e um tabaco RedmanBought us a tank of gas some Redman tobacco
Quando éramos só adolescentesWhen we were just teenage kids
Eu e meu velho amigo Johnny, a gente saía pra dar uma voltaMe and my old buddy Johnny we'd go riding around
Se tinha encrenca pra acharIf there was trouble to be found
Mas cara, a gente com certeza achavaBut man we dang sure did

Fazendo derrapagens nos camposCutting donuts in the fields
Até o velho Smith chamar a políciaTill old man Smith would call the cops
Ele saía correndo com uma espingardaHe'd come running out with a shotgun
Porque a gente tava destruindo as plantações deleCause we were running down his crops
E eu aposto que ele ainda se pergunta quem éramosAnd I reckon he's still wondering who that was
Pois é, éramos nósWell that was us

Agora alguns desses moleques locais seguiram em frenteNow some of these local boys moved on
Mas a gente nunca mudou nadaBut we never changed a bit
Não acho que a gente tinha muito juízoDon't guess we had enough sense
Pelo menos foi o que o povo disse,Least that's what folks said,
Então finalmente ficamos velhos o suficiente pra comprar nossa própria cervejaThen we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer
Não lembro muito bem daquele anoDon't remember much about that year
Mas ainda bem que não estamos mortosBut lucky we ain't dead
Porque alguém disse que viu uns caras com uma caminhonete que parecia com a minhaCause somebody said they saw some boys with a truck looked just like mine
Tentando derrubar aquele velho tanque d'águaTryin' to pull down that old water tank
Que fica na divisa do condadoSits out by the county line
E o povo se pergunta por que ele tá torto assimAnd people wonder why it leans the way it does
Pois é, éramos nósWell that was us

Parece que cidades pequenas nunca mudamSeems like small towns never change
Mas as coisas ficam difíceis quando a situação apertaBut things get tough when times get hard
E disseram que quando ele ficou doenteAnd they said when he got sick
Aquele velho Smith ia perder a fazendaThat old man Smith would have lost that farm
Porque ele tava se enrolando com todas as contasCause he was gettin way behind on all his bills
Até que alguém veio e trouxe as colheitas dele dos camposTill someone came and brought his crops in from the fields
É, o povo aqui ainda não sabe quem eraYeah, folks round here still don't know who that was
Mas éramos nósBut that was us
É, éramos nósYeah that was us
Saímos com uma espingarda porque estávamos destruindo as plantações deleCome out with a shotgun cause we were running down his crops
Éramos nósThat was us
Alguém diz que viu uns caras com uma caminhonete que parecia com a minhaSomebody says they saw boys with a truck looked just like mine
Éramos nósThat was us
Tentando derrubar aquele velho tanque d'água que fica na divisa do condadoTryin' to pull down that old water tank sits out on the county line
Éramos nósThat was us
