Believe with Jelly Roll

歌詞

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 He said he was in the war when in the navy Lost his wife and lost his baby I broke down and asked him one time I said "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, and said "I raise my hands, I 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 Talking to mom on the phone one night 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 died." Later on that night, I laid there thinking 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 Other side It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye He 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 there's more to life than just what I can see." I can't quote a good book Don't know the chapter or the verse You can't tell me this all ends in a slow ride in a hearse You know I'm more and more convinced the longer that I live This can't be No, this can't be No, this can't be This can't be This can't be all there is I raise my hands, I raise my hands I bow my head, 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, there's more to life than just what I can see Oh, I believe (Oh, I) Oh, I believe Mmm, I believe (I believe) I believe (I believe) Oh, I believe (I believe) Oh, I believe I believe (I believe) Oh, I believe
