I said grandpa whats this picture here 
Its all black and white 
It ain't real clear is that you there? 
He said yeah I was eleven 

Times were tough back in '35 
That's me and uncle Joe just tryin' to survive 
A cotton farm, in a great depression.

If it looks like we were scared to death 
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other 
You should've seen it in color.

Oh and this one here was taken over seas 
In the middle of hell in 1943 
In the winter time, you can almost see my breath 

That was my tail gunner ole Johnny Magee 
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans 
And he had my back right through the day we left.

If it looks like we were scared to death 
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other 
You should've seen it in color.

A pictures worth a thousand words 
But you cant see what those shades of gray keep covered 
You should've seen it in color

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

If it looks like we were scared to death 
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other 
You should've seen it in color.

A pictures worth a thousand words 
But you cant see what those shades of gray keep covered 
You should have seen it in color.

You should have seen it in color

Yeah a pictures worth a thousand words 
But you cant see what those shades of gray keep covered 
You should have seen it in color
