We Were Here

(album: Folks Like Us - 2015)

You wouldn't even know it's there
Piece of racetrack road somewhere
Underneath that new four lane
There's Chevy rubber that bears my name
Yeah we used to own this town
We used to burn it down
Left some circles 'round that square
Left some crazy everywhere

Had to cover our tracks in the blacktop
Turned a stomping ground into a parking lot
Painted over our names, but so what?
We were here, we were here
Might have let that bridge on the river rust
The [?] grow wild where the party was
Ain't a footprint left down in that mud
But we were here, we were here

Somewhere along a back road fence
We lost some backseat innocence
You shook me all night long
We'll always be more than a song
Her name was worth the climb
Stayed up there a long time
Things changed and so did we
But you, can't erase a memory

Had to cover our tracks in the blacktop
Turned a stomping ground into a parking lot
Painted over our names, but so what?
We were here, we were here
Might have let that bridge on the river rust
The [?] grow wild where the party was
Ain't a footprint left down in that mud
But we were here, we were here

Had to cover our tracks in the blacktop
Turned a stomping ground into a parking lot
Painted over our names, but so what?
We were here, we were here
Might have let that bridge on the river rust
The [?] grow wild where the party was
Ain't a footprint left down in that mud
But we were here, we were here
