[Intro]

[Verse 1]
It was Cworn and tied with string. Mama carried it with Fpride
And Chanded that old shoebox down to meG  
CFull of shiny photographs of Ffamily love inside
ReCminders of a Gtime that used to Cbe
CAll the aunts and uncles, countless cousins one by Fone
CGrandma in the kitchen by her stoveG  
Uncle CElmore playin’ dominos with FGrandad and his boys
CCecil with a Gjunebug on his Cnose
[Chorus]
And I wouldn’t Gtake a million Fdollars for that Cbox of memoFries
It brings Call the folks I love right back to Glife
How I Glong to hear their Fvoices one more Ctime, but they don’t Fspeak
Just little Cletters in the Amborder “Kodak F195G5”C  
[Verse 2]
Just a Csimple country family raised up on the Fland
CGrateful for the things the land providesG  
CGentle souls whose word was gold, they Flent a helping hand
And Cknew the Lord was Galways by their Cside
[Chorus]
And I wouldn’t Gtake a million Fdollars for that Cbox of memoFries
It brings Call the folks I love right back to Glife
How I Glong to hear their Fvoices one more Ctime, but they don’t Fspeak
Just little Cletters in the Amborder “Kodak F195G5”C  
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
CSometimes when this fancy world starts closin’ in on Fme
I Cgo where things appear more black and whiteG  
CDaddy in that snap brimmed hat, he Flooked so strong and lean
And CMama sure was Gpretty in her Cprime
[Chorus]
And I wouldn’t Gtake a million Fdollars for that Cbox of memoFries
It brings Call the folks I love right back to Glife
How I Glong to hear their Fvoices one more Ctime, but they don’t Fspeak
Just little Cletters in the Amborder “Kodak F195G5”C
