I'm finding more and more truth
Said he was in the war when in the navy
I laid there thinkin' back
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
They tell me that there's more to life
I believe
Later on that night
Deserved a ticket to the other side
The in's and out's of the small town life
Getting all caught up on the gossip
I raise my hands, bow my head
He looked at me and smiled, said
In a slow ride in a hearse
You can't tell me it all ends
Talkin' to mom on the phone one night
I spent a few long summers
Broke down and asked him one time
Yeah, this can't be
It'd be that sweet old man
You know I'm more and more convinced
I can't quote the book
No, this can't be
I raise my hands, bow my head
How ya keep from going crazy?
I asked him what he meant
Than just what I can see
A few years later I was off at college
In the words written in red
No, this can't be all there is
In the words written in red
I believe
When I raise my hands, bow my head
Who looked me in the eye, said
The longer that I live
I believe
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
Oh, I believe
Than just what I can see, oh I believe
Momma used to send me over with things
Lost his wife, lost his baby
Thought 'bout a couple long-lost summers
They tell me that there's more to this
We struck a friendship up
The chapter or the verse
Oh, I, I believe
In the words written in red
Out on his old porch swing
Oh I'm finding more and more truth
They tell me that there's more to life
She said oh by the way son, old man Wrigley's died
If there was ever anybody
I'm finding more and more truth
Than just what I can see
Mmm, I believe
