Intro

Well I rode into town with the ragtop down

 I was lookin for that homecomin queen

That three-by-nine lit hotel sign read

Welcome back class of eighty-three

There were football guys twice their size

Cheerleaders dyin the grey in their hair

The names were the same but the faces had changed

I didn't recognize anyone there

Chorus

 That used to be us, we used to be cool

 With the music cranked up hangin out after school

 That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe

 Tell me where in the world did we all go

 That used to be us, 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 dancin with a couple of canes

And that homecomin queen yeah the girl of my dreams

She didn't even remember my name

Chorus

 That used to be us, we used to be cool

 With the music cranked up hangin out after school

 That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe

 Tell me where in the world did we all go

 That used to be us, that used to be us

Solo

As I stand here and look around

I can't help but wonder who we'll be ten years from now

Chorus

 That used to be us, we used to be cool

 With the music cranked up hangin out after school

 That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe

 Tell me where in the world did we all go

 That used to be us, that used to be us
