[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Verse 2]
Hey 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 Lafitte
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans
And he had my back, right through the day we left
[Chorus]
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
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
[Refrain]
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
[Verse 2]
Hey 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 Lafitte
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans
And he had my back, right through the day we left
[Chorus]
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
