Alright, well I rolled in town with the rag top down
I was looking' for that home coming queen
That three by nine lit hotel sign read
Welcome back class of eighty-three
There were football guys twice their size
Cheerleaders hiding the grey in their hair
The names were the same but the faces had changed
I didn't recognize anyone there
That used to be us, we used to be cool
With the music cranked up, hangin' out after school
That used to be chill, that used to be joke
Tell me where in the world did we all go
That used to be us, oh that used to be us
I had a drink with some buds
Played a lot of catch up
Danced with my date from the prom
But as hard as I tried until I closed my eyes
Everybody I knew was gone
There was Mr. Finch, he taught English and French
He was dancing with a couple of canes
And that home coming queen, yea the girl of my dreams
She didn't even remember my name
That used to be us, we used to be cool
With the music cranked up, hangin' out after school
That used to be chill, that used to be joke
Tell me where in the world did we all go?
That used to be us
As I stand here and look around
I can't help but wonder
Who will be ten years from now
That used to be us, we used to be cool
With the music cranked up, hangin' out after school
That used to be chill, that used to be joke
Tell me where in the world did we all go
That used to be us, oh that used to be us
That used to be us, that used to be us
