Golden Picture Frames

Once upon a time, two people fell in love in Medford, Oklahoma A simple "hello" turned into an "it would be nice to get to know ya" Under a red bud tree she was still pretty green When he asked her to marry It didn't take long they started having kids Just babies having babies Over 15 years they ended up with 12, and I know that sounds crazy And they say youngest tells the story And I'm the last grandkid of forty There's still a white house at the end of 7th south Where a whole lotta life got lived And I remember Christmas on that corduroy couch Being all filled up with kids All the faces in the photographs Stories hanging up in the hallways The memories don't fade away I take them with me in my heart today In golden picture frames Just like that hallway, my heart is full of memory after memory Every Sunday dinner, every random get-together Every birthday, every wedding Some of us have moved away, yeah a whole lot's changed But I still see it all, and I can still say There's a little white house at the end of 7th south Where a whole lotta life got lived And I remember Christmas on that corduroy couch Being all filled up with kids All the faces in the photographs Stories hanging up in the hallways The memories won't fade away I take them with me in my heart today In golden picture frames If that old house that I once knew Gets torn down or painted blue I can always close my eyes And see a white house at the end of 7th south Where a whole lotta life got lived Even if they throw out that corduroy couch That was all filled up with kids I'll still see the faces in the photographs Hanging in the hallways Cause memories don't fade away They're right here with me in my heart today In golden picture frames Once upon a time, two people fell in love in Medford, Oklahoma
