There's an old Kodak camera in my dresser drawer I ran across it just this afternoon And I realize that I don't ever use it anymore In fact last time I did I think it was with you When we were down in Cozumel We had the whole beach to ourselves And it's crazy just to think That it's all there on that film And I could take it to the store To be developed, but what for I can still see everything just fine And who needs pictures with a memory like mine Standin' there, I couldn't help but think about Everything that might be on that roll I think it even has another trip we took I guess that must've been at least three years ago When we were down in Baton Rouge And there wasn't much to do So we drove into New Orleans every afternoon And I swear that you would think That it was only yesterday Cause I can still see everything just fine Who needs pictures with a memory like mine And somewhere in my closet There's a cardboard box just sittin' on the shelf It's full of faded memories And it's been there ever since the night you left Just forgotten photographs To remind me of the past But I can still see everything just fine And who needs pictures with a memory like mine Yeah, who needs pictures with a memory like mine
