1
Tommy got off at the Texaco
2
Came bustin' in to Norma's Cafe
3
Said come on man we gotta go
4
You know how those party girls hate to wait
5
Filled up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer
6
Yeah he was always stealin' the old man's car
7
Radio never came in too clear
8
So I'd hang out one on my piece of junk guitar
9
[Chorus]
10
Yeah we ruled from the blacktop
11
To the levee where the party never stopped
12
Yeah there was power in the night
13
The spirit was alive
14
When we would sing
15
Shan na na na na na na na
16
When we were kings
17
When we were kings
18
Sittin' around the fire one night Tommy called my name
19
I turned around, he said what do ya think
20
Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen
21
He kissed her hand and took another drink
22
I say you must be an angel puttin' up with this guy
23
She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stones
24
I couldn't let that chance go by
25
Yeah I sang her "You Can't Always Get What you Want"
26
[Chorus]
27
That was the fall of '65
28
I guess Uncle Same was hedging his bet
29
Tommy's number cam up he said "Hey, I'll be Fine"
30
"I'll teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget"
31
Angel and I went to wave goodbye
32
I guess we'd always thought we'd see him again
33
You know I took her out a couple of times
34
We always just wound up talkin' 'bout him
35
[Chorus]
36
Shan na na na na na na na
37
When we were kings
38
Shan na na na na na na na
39
Shan na na na na na na na
