I said,"Grandpa what's this picture here?

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

Times were tough back in '35

That's me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive
C
A cotton farm

If it looks like we were scared to death

You should've seen it in color

Awe and this one here's taken overseas

In the winter time, you can almost see my breath

If it looks like we were scared to death
F C
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other

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

C G
And just look at that smile I was so proud
