Even though Crow's label did not release licensing permissions for the original version, Crow was featured in the music video singing instead of Moorer. The video takes place in a studio showing Rock and Crow recording the song, accompanied by clips of the duo hanging out in the winter time. During the guitar solo, Rock is seen wearing a cowboy hat and winter jacket while walking alone in a field covered in snow. The video also features a few uses of the monochrome effect, while most of the video is in color. It was directed by JB Carlin
"Picture" is a duet written by American music artists Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow, released on November 12, 2002, as the fourth single and ninth track from Kid Rock's 2001 album Cocky. The original recording on the album is performed by the song's writers. Rock re-recorded the song for radio with alternative country singer Allison Moorer because Atlantic was initially unable to get the rights from Crow's label to release the album version as a single.[2] When the Moorer version was released, some radio stations began playing the Crow version instead, leading Billboard to credit the song variously to Kid Rock featuring Sheryl Crow or Allison Moorer. The song was a commercial and critical success and was nominated for Vocal Event of the Year at the 2003 Country Music Association awards.
[Kid Rock:]
Livin' my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sunshine in three damn days
Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whiskey
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord, I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lying next to her (Ooh-ooh)
[Sheryl Crow:]
I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows, but they won't tell
But their half-hearted smiles tell me something just ain't right
I've been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in three damn nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you've been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him (Ooh)
I put your picture away
I wonder where you've been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him (Ooh)
[Sheryl Crow (Kid Rock) {Both}:]
I saw you yesterday with an old friend
(It was the same old same "How have you been?")
{Since you've been gone, my world's been dark and grey}
(You reminded me of brighter days)
I hoped you were comin' home to stay
I was headed to church
(I was off to drink you away (Drink you away))
{I thought about you for a long time}
{Can't seem to get you off my mind}
{I can't understand why we're living life this way}
[Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow {Kid Rock}:]
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
{I just} called to say I want you
To come back home (Ooh-ooh)
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
{I just} called to say I want you
To come back home
[Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow:]
I just called to say I love you
