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 freindship 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 I broke down and 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 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 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 on the gossip of the small town life She said oh by the way 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 If there was ever anybody who desevred a ticket to the other side It`d be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye 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 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 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 there`s more to life than just what I can see I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I still believe
