"In Color"
I said grampa... whats this picture here.
It's all black & white & it ain't real clear... is that you there... he said... yeah.
I was 11.
Times were tuff back in 35.
That's me & 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'a seen it in color.
Ah... & this one here was taken over sea's in the middle of hell in 1943.
In 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... & 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'a seen it in color.
A picture's worth a 1000 words.
But you can't see what those shades of grey keep covered.
You should'a seen it in color.
This one is my favorite one... this is me & grama' 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.
That rose is red & her eyes are blue & just look at that smile.
I was so proud.
That's the story of my life... right there in black & white.
