I said Grandpa whats this picture here Its all black and white ... and aint real clear
Is that you there ... he said ... yeah I was eleven
Times were tough back in thirty-five thats me and Uncle Joe just tryin to survive
A cotton farm ... in the Great Depression
And if it looks like we were scared to death like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color
And this one here was taken overseas in the middle of hell in nineteen forty-three
In the winter time ... you can almost see my breath
That was my tail gunner ole Johnny McGee he was a high school teacher from New Orleans
And he had my back ... right through the day we left
And if it looks like we were scared to death like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color
A pictures worth a thousand words but you cant see what those shades of gray keep covered
You should have seen it in color
BREAK
This one is my favorite one this is me and grandma in the summer sun
All dressed up ... the day we said our vows
You cant tell it here but it was hot that June that rose was red and her eyes were blue
And just look at that smile ... I was so proud
Thats the story of my life ... right there in black and white
And if it looks like we were scared to death like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color
A pictures worth a thousand words but you cant see what those shades of gray keep covered
You should have seen it in color ... you should have seen it in color
