Take a Picture

Was a duck hunt In late November I was only nine But I still remember The sound of dogs Whining in the stand And freezing my ass Next to my best friend We were on the road home After shooting our bags 'Bout halfway back We stopped for gas My uncle pointed up To the diesel price A buck ninety-nine He laughed and said "We're gonna wanna Take a picture of that one 'Cus soon a picture's All we're gonna have Sure Today it's a tank of gas But someday soon We're gonna want it back I remember Being seventeen When I could fill my truck And still pay for drinks No way to know What a deal I had We're gonna wanna Take a picture of that Fast forward a few years My brother's heading to prom With the head of cheer I coulda sworn He was nine last week And now he's struggling Putting on my cufflinks Lining up in the front yard She was standing there With two bare arms And he was posted up By the kitchen bar I went inside Grabbed him and said "You're gonna wanna get A picture of this bud Looking back It's all you'll really miss I couldn't say Where most of my friends went But I can still taste My first real kiss All alone On her back porch Sneaky hands And Sunset orange I can smell her hair While it fades to black I'd give the skin on my back For a picture of that Picture of that Picture of that My lock screen is a picture Of my mom She's smiling And throwing two Thumbs up And it's kinda stupid And she Asked me not to use it But I Look at it sometimes When I'm sure I'm gonna lose it 'Cus it's the stupid little Things I've found to be Worth the trouble of Looking down to see You are alive You are alive Alive And able To be loved
