KIP MOORE - THAT WAS US

Transcript

00:00I wrote this one at like, uh...

00:07I'd rather do Montana.

00:15Probably 5.30 in the morning.

00:20Me and Weston Davis, who's from Jacksonville.

00:25He's always been like a brother to me.

00:28Unbelievable writer.

00:30One of the best wordsmiths I've been around.

00:36People wrote a lot of good stuff together, but...

00:40Like a lot of songs, I would just start kind of playing a group.

00:45And I find myself in other rooms,

00:48kind of taking the lead on lyrics and lyrics and melody a lot of times.

00:54But Weston always has such a unique approach to things

00:58that I always kind of want to see what he's going to say first.

01:00And I find myself a lot of times when we've been writing.

01:02I'll take the back seat for a minute and kind of let him see where he's going to go

01:09because he just approaches things from a really unique angle.

01:14And I was just kind of humming on this melody of this song.

01:18I was just playing this groove and I couldn't sleep.

01:20He'd poke his head, you know, out of the bunk area.

01:26And he just said, you know, he just said the opening line of this song.

01:31He was listening to me.

01:34And then we were off to the races like we've done so many times.

01:36Me and Teddy used to burn out a Chevy all the way out to Mary Lee's.

01:47One of the guys that kind of ride or die, we were thick as thieves.

01:53The whole damn town, so when we come around,

01:56we mean there's a four little word.

01:59Up to no good fun, we didn't have much.

02:03Just a whole lot of time to burn.

02:05So if we got high,

02:07we got stone.

02:12If there was a fire,

02:15we got it on.

02:18If there was a back seat,

02:22we made love.

02:25Because that was then,

02:29that was us.

02:35We crossed the county line for a keg of one night

02:42and some girls we had never seen.

02:46Teddy had his eye locked on a dime.

02:49Mary said she was looking at me.

02:53Standing there sipping on the smoke

02:55and she passed bottle of rum.

02:57She said my name's Katie.

03:01You're my kind of crazy

03:02and it takes one to know one.

03:04So if we got high,

03:06so if we got high,

03:07we got stone.

03:11If there was a fire,

03:14we got it on.

03:18If there was a back seat,

03:21we made love.

03:23Because that was them

03:26and that was us.

03:30Mary Lee started hanging,

03:48started talking with the boy

03:50with the checkered pads.

03:52Wasn't long for we showed us true colors

03:55and he left her all blue and black.

03:57Cops stopped us running 90

04:01with a loaded pistol

04:02and a bottle of booze.

04:05It's a good damn thing

04:07them blue lights got us,

04:09but we did what we was gonna do.

04:11So if we got high,

04:13we got stone.

04:17If there was a fire,

04:21we got it on.

04:22If there was a back seat,

04:26we made love.

04:30Because that was them

04:32and that was us.

04:36Yeah.

04:38If we got high,

04:40you know we gonna roll it up.

04:42If we got high,

04:43yeah, you know we got stone.

04:45There was a fire,

04:46yeah, you know we gonna pack a punch.

04:49There's a fire,

04:49we got it on.

04:51In the back of the sea,

04:53you know we got tangled up.

04:55Back of the sea,

04:56you know we made love.

04:58Because that was them

05:00and that's still us.
