Lyrics for Kodachrome - Live 1973

When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school It's a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh, yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama, don't take my Kodachrome away If you took all the girls I knew when I was single And brought 'em all together for one night I know they'd never match my sweet imagination And everything looks worse in black and white Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh, yeah I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama, don't take my Kodachrome away Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away
