Mama's with her mom in the kitchen frying up a chicken Thirty minutes out of the coupe Us kids under the house on another secret agent mission Cap guns cocked and ready to shoot Daddy with my Uncle Dale lighting up a Chesterfield Drinking Pearl beer in the sun And Grandpa's in his chair watching Meet The Press on television Cussing at the top of his lungs It was an age of black and white (Oh but there was color, you should have seen the color) When people lived their lives Plain and simple Aunt Sally's shelling peas, Aunt Marie is washin' turnip greens Aunt Cathy she ain't doing a thing Couple cousins in the yard got the hood up on an old DeSoto Figuring out what's making it ping With the AM radio filling up the air with country music Everybody hummin' along It's a picture you could frame, even Norman Rockwell would agree Is worthy of this simple old song It was an age of black and white (Oh but there was color, you should have seen the color) When people lived their lives Plain and simple Old photographs and memories of how it was and used to be Are all that's left to share with our kids Yeah gone for good and that's a fact and they ain't never coming back But what a generation they missed Wish they could see in black and white (Oh there was color, you should have seen the color) When people lived their lives Plain and simple Plain and simple |
