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
