[00:11.47]Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
[00:15.18]Down the street where I grew up
[00:18.65]My momma used to send me over with things
[00:22.41]We struck a friendship up
[00:27.16]I spent a few long summers
[00:33.66]Out on his old porch swing
[00:39.04]Said he was in the war in the navy
[00:43.06]Lost his wife' lost his baby
[00:47.03]I broke down and asked him one time
[00:50.90]How ya keep from going crazy
[00:56.86]He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
[01:02.96]I asked him what he meant
[01:07.00]He looked at me and smiled' and said
[02:41.91][01:09.73]I raise my hands' bow my head
[03:46.14][02:50.24][01:17.75]I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
[03:53.91][02:57.72][01:25.28]They tell me that there's more to life than just what I can see
[04:00.89][01:32.95]Oh I believe
[01:43.31]Few years later I was off at college
[01:47.30]Talkin' on the phone to my mom one night
[01:50.99]Getting all caught up on the gossip
[01:55.44]Of the small town life
[01:59.59]She said oh by the way child' old man Wrigley hass died.
[02:10.92]Later on that night' I laid there thinkin' back
[02:18.86]I thought about a couple long-lost summers
[02:22.90]I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
[02:27.56]Cause if there was ever anybody who deserved a ticket to the other side
[02:35.02]It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye and said
[03:06.89]I can't quote the book
[03:10.33]The chapter or the verse
[03:14.03]You can't tell me it all ends
[03:18.18]In a slow ride in a hearse
[03:22.43]You know I'm more and more convinced
[03:26.33]The longer that I live
[03:29.54]No' this can't be
[03:33.05]No' it can't be
[03:34.71]This can't be all there is
[03:37.59]When I raise my hands' bow my head
[04:05.83]Ooh' I still believe
