  I said Grandpa what's this picture here 

  It's all black and white, and it ain't real clear 

  Is that you there, he said yeah, I was eleven 

  And times were tough, back in thirty-five 

  That's me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive 

  A cotton farm, in the Great Depression

  R1:
  And if it looks like we were scared to death 

  Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other 

  You should've seen it in color

  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

  R2:
  And if it looks like we were scared to death 

  Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other 

  You should've seen it in color 

  A picture's worth a thousand words 

  But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered 

  You should've seen it in color

  And 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 can't tell it here but it was hot that June 

  And that rose was red and her eyes were blue 

  And just look at that smile, I was so proud

  That's the story of my life 

  Right there in black and white
