There I am sittin' on my grandma's steps
Wonderin' what trouble I could get in next
A freckle-faced kid with a snow cone smile
Not a worry in the world
Would you look at my mom in that big yellow hat
What was she thinkin' wearin' somethin' like that
I still remember her tryin' to fix my hair
Like I was her little girl
CHORUS
A simple photograph
A memory in black and white
That always makes me laugh or makes me cry
An eight by ten reminder
That time is such a precious thing
That life is always movin' us along
And love is all that matters when we're gone
A year after that was taken we pulled up roots
Had to leave behind the only world I knew
Me with my little nose pressed against the glass
As our rambler rolled away
I called my grandma every Sunday night
Made those nine hundred miles almost seem all right
She'd say, "I'll see ya next summer, I can hardly wait"
But that summer never came
REPEAT CHORUS
I've been starin' at this picture for fifteen minutes
Wonderin' what happened to that little boy in it
The freckle-faced kid with the snow cone smile
Not a worry in the world
Now I'm late for a meeting that started at eight
Gonna pick up the phone and tell 'em not to wait
Gonna run upstairs and put my arms around
My wife and my little girl
REPEAT CHORUS
