In Color

[00:12.00] I said "Grandpa what's this picture here
[00:18.09] It's all black and white
[00:21.34] It ain't real clear is that you there?"
[00:24.03] He said "Yeah, I was eleven
[00:28.00] Times were tough back in '35
[00:33.45] That's me and uncle Joe just tryin' to survive
[00:37.17] A cotton farm, in a great depression
[00:43.04] If it looks like we were scared to death
[00:48.58] Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
[00:54.10] You should've seen it in color
[00:58.81] Oh and this one here was taken over seas
[01:07.40] In the middle of hell in 1943
[01:11.23] In the winter time, you can almost see my breath
[01:17.09] That was my tail gunner ole Johnny Magee
[01:22.53] He was a high school teacher from New Orleans
[01:26.52] And he had my back right through the day we left
[01:32.96] If it looks like we were scared to death
[01:37.95] Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
[01:43.35] You should've seen it in color
[01:49.13] A picture's worth a thousand words
[01:52.95] But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
[01:58.57] You should've seen it in color
[02:17.96] This one is my favorite one
[02:22.97] This is me and grandma in the summer sun
[02:26.67] All dressed up the day we said our vows
[02:32.75] You can't tell it here but it was hot that June
[02:37.82] And that rose was red and her eyes were blue
[02:41.83] And just look at that smile I was so proud
[02:48.03] That's the story of my life right there in black and white
[03:02.17] And if it looks like we were scared to death
[03:08.53] Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
[03:13.98] You should've seen it in color
[03:19.04] A picture's worth a thousand words
[03:23.01] But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
[03:26.83] You should have seen it in color
[03:33.38] You should have seen it in color
[03:45.89] Yeah, a picture's worth a thousand words
[03:48.90] But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
[03:54.49] You should have seen it in color"
