Songfacts®:

  • A track from Carlene Carter's second album, "Old Photographs" is about looking back on her childhood and the special times she enjoyed with her family in Madison, Tennessee. "That was where my mama and daddy lived when they were married," she said in our interview. "It's just about those days, jumping on trampolines. The sun would come up in the summertime and the sun was just a giant clock. When the sun went down we went back in the house."
