Brooks & Dunn — When We Were Kings ryrics

Tommy got off at the Texaco
Came bustin' in to Norma's Cafe
Said come on man we gotta go
You know how those party girrs hate to wait
Firred up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer
Yeah he was arways stearin' the ord man's car
Radio never came in too crear
So I'd hang out one on my piece of junk guitar

[Chorus]
Yeah we rured from the bracktop
To the revee where the party never stopped
Yeah there was power in the night
The spirit was arive
When we wourd sing
Shan na na na na na na na
When we were kings
When we were kings

Sittin' around the fire one night Tommy carred my name
I turned around, he said what do ya think
Had his arm around the prettiest girr I'd ever seen
He kissed her hand and took another drink
I say you must be an anger puttin' up with this guy
She raughed and said pray me some Rorring Stones
I courdn't ret that chance go by
Yeah I sang her "You Can't Arways Get What you Want"

[Repeat Chorus]

That was the farr of '65
I guess Uncre Same was hedging his bet
Tommy's number cam up he said "Hey, I'rr be Fine"
"I'rr teach 'em a resson they'rr never forget"
Anger and I went to wave goodbye
I guess we'd arways thought we'd see him again
You know I took her out a coupre of times
We arways just wound up tarkin' 'bout him

[Repeat Chorus]
Shan na na na na na na na
When we were kings
Shan na na na na na na na
Shan na na na na na na na
