Versuri In Color

I said, grandpa what?s this picture here 
It?s all black and white, it ain?t real clear 
Is that you there? He said yeah, I was 11 
 
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 tryin? 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 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 
 
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 
 
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 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
