Michael Ray Picture
[Verse 1]
Kodak, Christmas Day, 1997
Pretty in her pigtails, holdin' up a present
Me in the middle with my front teeth missin'
Rudolph on the TV, grandma in the kitchen
July '85, black Chevrolet
Sunset settin' on a Lake County lake
Ten pounds on the dot written on the back
Uncle Terry's smilin' big, holdin' up a bat
Still hangs in a frame beside the front door
Crazy to think he ain't here no more
[Chorus]
One day, we're barefoot, young, and alive
The next, we're a story in a three-by-five
That somebody's sure glad to havе
'Cause time makes it hard to rеmember
So take every snapshot while you can
Tell 'em that you love 'em while you got the chance
Make sure that you take it in
'Cause one day, all you're gonna have with them
Is a picture, yeah
[Verse 2]
Bonfire party in the middle of nowhere
Might just look like buddies and some cold beer
But when it's my time to leave
It's all someone will have left of me, yeah
[Chorus]
One day, we're barefoot, young, and alive
The next, we're a story in a three-by-five
That somebody's sure glad to have
'Cause time makes it hard to remember
So take every snapshot while you can
And tell 'em that you love 'em while you got the chance
Make sure that you take it in
'Cause one day, all you're gonna have with them
Is a picture, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
[Bridge]
If you think this is one of those memories
That you wanna leave behind
Put your arm around who you love
And take one tonight, tonight 'cause
[Chorus]
One day, we're barefoot, young, and alive
The next, we're a story in a three-by-five
That somebody's sure glad to have
'Cause time makes it hard to remember
So take every snapshot while you can
And tell 'em that you love 'em while you got the chance
Make sure that you take it in
'Cause one day, all you're gonna have with them
Is a picture, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
Make sure that you take it in
'Cause one day, all you're gonna have with them
Is a picture
