Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver - More Behind the Picture Than the Wall Lyrics

I was cleaning out the closet, throwin' things away
I'd forgotten all about it, when I looked, there it lay
I picked it up, found a frame and hung it in the hall
But there's more behind this picture than the wall.

It was taken on that trip we took back in '92
Casey sure did look like me, Lori looked like you
We had no way of knowing then, just how the cards would fall
Yeah, there's more behind this picture than the wall.

Casey joined the army, they sent him far from home
Lori moved to Hollywood, pretending she was grown
You and I held on and tried to make sense of it all
There's more behind this picture than the wall.

Too soon our little family, was scattered to the wind
You fell out of love with me, and wouldn't fall back in
I was sleepin' by myself the night I got that call
Yeah, there's more behind this picture than the wall.

Casey died a hero, that's what the Chaplain said
We couldn't find sweet Lori, I doubt she knows it yet
You and I stood tortured by the memories we recall
There's more behind this picture than the wall.

Four happy lovin' faces, back then we had it all
But there's more behind this picture than the wall
Than the wall.
