Lyrics

LOOK AT US NOW

Verse 1
Saw an old friend on Broadway last night
Laughed about the times we goofed around

Verse 2
Stole his cousin's Chevy at a football game
(Pause) Neither one... knew how to drive
Spun a dozen donuts 'til the police came
Thought my dad would skin us both alive

Pre-Chorus
Speaking of then... it's lost on me when
We covered tatoos; became one of them
Traded A-T-Vs for these (Pause)... mini--vans

Chorus 1
But look at us now, hey look at us now
Doin' OK for two rodeo clowns... who
Tested every limit... the law would allow
Yea, look at us now, hey look at us now
Corner-office views... white button-downs
Must be foolin' some...(PAUSE) but no idea how...
Yea (Pause)... look at us now

Bridge
There's something about the fantasy of youth
Good times... gonna last forever
Can't see past the moment... let alone the truth
A kid's life... won't get any better

Verse 3
Bought a house; twins on the way
Wife's gonna teach 'em right from wrong
But I got no regrets... If we always behaved...
Hell... (Pause)... wouldn't be much of a Eb song
Pre-Chorus
Chorus 2
But look at us now, hey look at us now
Doin' OK for two rodeo clowns... who tested every limit... the law would allow (spoken: and some it wouldn't!)
Yea look at us now, hey look at us now
Corner-office views... white button-downs
Must be foolin' some... but no idea Bb how
Yea ... look at us now
Chorus 1
