"Be Us" lyrics
(We ain't got no money, but we still get by)
(Didn't come from nothing just to not get high)
(Even when the world ain't enough)
(It's always gon' be us)
I had a vision
I watched the walls fade away into the distance
You were there beside the throne where I was sitting
I guess we made it out the mess that we were living
No empty bottles
No more reminders of our never-ending problems
Until the day we finally get up off the bottle
I'll keep on holding on to you if it's the last thing that I do
I know we'll make it to tomorrow, yeah
We ain't got no money, but we still get by
Didn't come from nothing just to not get high
Even when the world ain't enough
It's always gon' be us
They don't know 'bout half the hell that we've been through
There's beauty in the pain that we can't undo
Even when the world turns to dust
It's always gon' be us
I'll be Johnny, you be June in the backseat of my car
You've seen all my bruises and I know all your scars
If we hold it down, someday we'll be living large
Can't tear us apart (Oh no, no)
We ain't got no money, but we still get by
Didn't come from nothing just to not get high
Even when the world ain't enough
It's always gon' be us
They don't know 'bout half the hell that we've been through
There's beauty in the pain that we can't undo
Even when the world turns to dust
It's always gon' be us
'Til the tires fall off, 'til the sky turns black
(Always gon' be us)
'Til the good Lord calls and we all go back
(Always gon' be us)
We ain't got no money, but we still get by
Didn't come from nothing just to not get high
Even when the world ain't enough
It's always gon' be us
They don't know 'bout half the hell that we've been through
There's beauty in the pain that we can't undo
Even when the world turns to dust
It's always gon' be us
(We ain't got no money, but we still get by)
(Didn't come from nothing just to not get high)
(Even when the world ain't enough)
(It's always gon' be us)
(Didn't come from nothing just to not get high)
(Even when the world ain't enough)
(It's always gon' be us)
I had a vision
I watched the walls fade away into the distance
You were there beside the throne where I was sitting
I guess we made it out the mess that we were living
No empty bottles
No more reminders of our never-ending problems
Until the day we finally get up off the bottle
I'll keep on holding on to you if it's the last thing that I do
I know we'll make it to tomorrow, yeah
We ain't got no money, but we still get by
Didn't come from nothing just to not get high
Even when the world ain't enough
It's always gon' be us
They don't know 'bout half the hell that we've been through
There's beauty in the pain that we can't undo
Even when the world turns to dust
It's always gon' be us
I'll be Johnny, you be June in the backseat of my car
You've seen all my bruises and I know all your scars
If we hold it down, someday we'll be living large
Can't tear us apart (Oh no, no)
We ain't got no money, but we still get by
Didn't come from nothing just to not get high

It's always gon' be us
They don't know 'bout half the hell that we've been through
There's beauty in the pain that we can't undo
Even when the world turns to dust

'Til the good Lord calls and we all go back
(Always gon' be us)
We ain't got no money, but we still get by
Didn't come from nothing just to not get high
Even when the world ain't enough
It's always gon' be us
They don't know 'bout half the hell that we've been through
There's beauty in the pain that we can't undo
Even when the world turns to dust
It's always gon' be us
(We ain't got no money, but we still get by)
(Didn't come from nothing just to not get high)
(Even when the world ain't enough)
(It's always gon' be us)
