This is a photograph, a window to the past
Of your father on the front lawn, with no shirt on
Ready to take the world on, beneath the West Texas sun
The year that you were born, the year that you are now
His wife behind the camera, his daughter and his baby boy
Got a glimmer in his eye, seems to say, this is what i'll miss after I die
And this is what i'll miss about being alive. My body, my girls, my boy, the sun
Now time's the undefeated, the heavyweight champ
Laughing in his face, as it dance like Sugar Ray
Used to be "c'mon c'mon" but now "no mas, no mas"
And this is a photograph, a window to the past
Of your mother in a skirt, in the cool Kentucky dirt
Laughing in the garden (haha!) back where it all started
With a smile on her face, everything in its place
Got a glimmer in her eyes seems to say: this is what I'll miss about being alive
And this is what i'll miss after I die
This is a photograph, a window to the past
Of me on a front lawn, ready to take the world on
Beneath the Tennessee sun, inside the kingdom
Got a glimmer in my eye, seems to say
