Brooks & Dunn - When We Were Kings Lyrics

(Kix Brooks/Gary Nicholson)

Tommy got off at the Texaco

Came bustin' in to Norma's Café

Said come on man we gotta go

You know how those party girls hate to wait

Filled up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer

Yeah he was always stealin' the old man's car

Radio never came in too clear

So I'd hang out one on my piece of junk guitar

Chorus

Yeah we ruled from the blacktop

To the levee where the party never stopped

Yeah there was power in the night

The spirit was alive

When we would sing

Shan na na na na na na na

When we were kings

When we were kings

Sittin' around the fire one night Tommy called my name

I turned around, he said what do ya think

Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen

He kissed her hand and took another drink

I say you must be an angel puttin' up with this guy

She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stones

I couldn't let that chance go by

Yeah I sang her “You Can't Always Get What you Want”

Repeat Chorus

That was the fall of '65

I guess Uncle Same was hedging his bet

Tommy's number cam up he said “Hey, I'll be Fine”

“I'll teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget”

Angel and I went to wave goodbye

I guess we'd always thought we'd see him again

You know I took her out a couple of times

We always just wound up talkin' '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
