I said, Grandpa, what's this picture [Ab] here?
It's all black and white.
It ain't real clear.
[Bb] Is that you there?
He said, yeah, I was 11.
Times were tough back in [Ab] 35, and that's me and Uncle Joe just trying to survive [Bb] a cotton
farm in a great depression.
If it looks like we were scared to [Ab] death, like a couple of kids just trying to save
[Eb] each other, you should have seen it [Bb] in color.

He was a high school teacher from New Orleans, [Eb] and he had my back right through the day [Bb] we left.
If it looks like we were scared to death, [Ab] like a couple of kids just trying to [Bb] save
