I said grandpa whats this picture here its all black and white it aint
real clear is that you there? He said yeah i was 11 times were tough
back in '35 thats me and uncle Joe just tryin to survive a cotton farm
in the 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.

Ohh 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.

A picture's 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. Thats the story of
my life right there in black and white
