GI said, "Grandpa what's this picture here?
FIt's all black and white and it ain't real clear
CIs that you there? He said
Gyeah, I was 11
GTimes were tough back in '35
FThat's me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive
CA cotton farm
GAnd a great depression
[Chorus]
GIf it looks like we were scaredto death
FLike a couple of kids just
Ctryin' to save each other
GYou should've seen it in color
[Verse 2]
GAw, and this one here's taken overseas
FIn the middle of Hell in 1943
CIn the winter time, you can
Galmost see my breath
GThat was my tail gunner: Ole Johnny McGee
FHe was a High School teacher from New Orleans
CAnd he had my back, right
Gthrough the day we left
[Chorus]
GIf it looks like we were scared to death
FLike a couple of kids just
Ctryin' to save each other
GYou should've seen it in color

FBut you can't see what those
Cshades of gray keep covered
GYou should've seen it in color
