    BROOKS & DUNN LYRICS

    "Believe"

    Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
    Down the street where i grew up
    Momma used to send me over with things
    We struck a friendship up
    I spent a few long summers out on his old porch swing

    Says he was in the war when in the navy
    Lost his wife, lost his baby
    Broke down and asked him one time
    How ya keep from going crazy
    He said I’ll see my wife and son in just a little while
    I asked him what he meant
    He looked at me and smiled, said

    [Chorus]
    I raise my hands, bow my head
    I’m finding more and more truth in the words written in red
    They tell me that there’s more to life than just what i can see
    Oh i believe

    Few years later i was off at college
    Talkin’ to mom on the phone one night
    Getting all caught up on the gossip
    The ins and outs of the small town life
    She said oh by the way son, old man Wrigley’s died.

    Later on that night, i laid there thinkin’ back
    Thought ’bout a couple long-lost summers
    I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh
    If there was ever anybody deserved a ticket to the other side
    It’d be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye, said

    [Chorus]
    I raise my hands, bow my head
    I’m finding more and more truth in the words written in red
    They tell me that there’s more to life than just what i can see

    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
    Yeah, this can’t be
    No, this can’t be
    No, this can’t be all there is

    [Chorus]
    When I raise my hands, bow my head
    I’m finding more and more truth in the words written in red
    They tell me that there’s more to life than just what i can see
    I believe
    Oh, I
    I believe
    I believe
    I believe
    I believe
    I believe
