Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street, where I grew up
My momma used to send me over with things
We struck a friendship up
I spent a few long summers, mhm
Out on his old porch swing
Said he was in the war, in the navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
I broke down and I asked him one time
"How ya keep from going crazy?"
He said "I'll see my son and wife in just a little while"
I asked him what he meant
He looked at me and smiled, and said
"I raise my hands, bow my head"
"I'm finding more and more truth"
"In the words written in red"
"They tell me that it's more to life than just what I can see"
"Oh I believe"
Few years later I was off at college
Talkin' on the phone to my mom one night
Getting all caught up in the gossip
Of a small town life
She said "oh by the way child, old man Wrigley has died"
Later on that night, I laid there thinkin' back
I thought about a couple long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
You see if there was ever anybody
Who deserved a ticket to the other side
It'll be that sweet old man
Who looked me in the eye, and said
"I raise my hands, bow my head"
"I'm finding more and more truth"
"In the words written in red"
"They tell me that it's more to life than just what I can see, oh"
I can't quote the book
The chapter or the verse
You can't tell me it all ends
In a slow ride in a hearse
You know I'm more and more convinced
The longer that I live
And oh, this can't be
No, it can't be
This can't be all there is
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth
In the words written in red
Tell me that it's more to life than just what I can see
And oh I believe
Oh, I
Lord, I
Lord, I
Lord I still believe
I, with all that I've been through, I still believe
Yes I do
I believe, yeah
Oh oh, Lord I, Lord I, I, I still believe
