Album | That Lonesome Song |
[00:15.02] | I said, Grandpa what’s this picture here |
[00:19.17] | It’s all black and white and ain’t real clear |
[00:22.73] | Is that you he said, yeah I was eleven |
[00:27.92] | |
[00:30.72] | Times were tough back in thirty-five |
[00:34.11] | That’s me and Uncle Joe just tryin’ to survive |
[00:37.88] | A cotton farm in the Great Depression |
[00:42.83] | |
[00:45.48] | And if it looks like we were scared to death |
[00:49.35] | Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other |
[00:54.87] | You should have seen it in color |
[00:59.70] | |
[01:04.18] | This one here was taken overseas |
[01:08.08] | In the middle of hell in nineteen forty-three |
[01:12.10] | In the winter time you can almost see my breath |
[01:17.27] | |
[01:19.68] | That was my tail gunner ole’ Johnny McGee |
[01:23.19] | He was a high school teacher from New Orleans |
[01:27.31] | And he had my back right through the day we left |
[01:32.24] | |
[01:34.72] | And if it looks like we were scared to death |
[01:38.49] | Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other |
[01:44.08] | You should have seen it in color |
[01:48.68] | |
[01:50.08] | A picture’s worth a thousand words |
[01:53.55] | But you can’t see what those shades of gray keep covered |
[01:58.95] | You should have seen it in color |
[02:03.74] | |
[02:20.37] | This one is my favorite one |
[02:23.66] | It’s me and grandma in the summer sun |
[02:27.54] | All dressed up the day we said our vows |
[02:33.10] | |
[02:34.94] | You can’t tell it here but it was hot that June |
[02:38.67] | That rose was red and her eyes were blue |
[02:42.34] | And just look at that smile I was so proud |
[02:47.74] | |
[02:51.83] | That’s the story of my life |
[02:59.50] | Right there in black and white |
[03:04.51] | |
[03:04.92] | And if it looks like we were scared to death |
[03:08.80] | Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other |
[03:14.28] | You should have seen it in color |
[03:18.79] | |
[03:20.21] | A picture’s worth a thousand words |
[03:23.67] | But you can’t see what those shades of gray keep covered |

[03:34.52] | |
[03:40.18] | You should have seen it in color |
