In Color Lyrics


I said grandpa whats this picture here
Its all black and white
It ain't real clear is that you there?
He said yeah I was elevenTimes 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 trying 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 breathThat 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 trying 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've seen it in colorThis 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 whiteIf 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.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 colorYeah a pictures worth a thousand words
But you cant see what those shades of gray keep covered
You should have seen it in color

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jamey Johnson (born in Enterprise, Alabama) is an American country music singer-songwriter. Signed to BNA Records in 2005, Johnson made his debut with his single "The Dollar", which reached a peak of #14 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. An album, also titled The Dollar, was released in 2006. Johnson exited BNA in 2006 and signed to Mercury Nashville Records in March 2008, releasing his first single for the label that month. In addition to his own material, Johnson has co-written three singles for Trace Adkins, as well as one each for George Strait, Joe Nichols and John Michael Montgomery.

Johnson was raised in Montgomery, Alabama. From an early age, he was influenced by country acts such as Alabama and Alan Jackson, the latter of whom he claims is the first act that he saw in concert. Johnson, after graduating high school, attended Jacksonville State University, the same university from which Alabama lead singer Randy Owen graduated.

Johnson then quit college after two years and served in the the Marine Corps Reserves for eight years. After exiting the Marines, he began playing country music in various bars throughout Montgomery; one of his first gigs was opening for David Allan Coe. By 2000, Johnson had moved to Nashville, Tennessee in pursuit of a career in country music. One of his first connections was with Greg Perkins, a fiddler who had played for Tanya Tucker and other artists. Perkins invited Johnson to sing as a duet partner on a demo tape; the other duet partner with whom he sang was Gretchen Wilson. Songs for which Johnson sang demos include "Songs About Me" (cut by Trace Adkins) and "That's How They Do It in Dixie" (cut by Hank Williams, Jr. with Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, and Van Zant).

In addition, Johnson had made connections with producer and songwriter Buddy Cannon, who helped him land a songwriting contract. Among Johnson's first cuts as a songwriter was "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk", which Adkins cut for his 2005 album Songs About Me and released as a single.
