Believe (2024)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jelly Roll] Old man Wrigley lived in that white house Down the street where I grew up Mama used to send me over with things We struck a friendship up I spent a few long summers Out on his old porch swing Said he was in the war, went in the navy Lost his wife, lost his baby I broke down and asked him one time I said, "How you keep from goin' 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 [Chorus: Jelly Roll] He said, "I raise my hands I bow my head I'm findin' more and more truth At the words written in red They tell me that there's more to life Than just what I can see, oh, I believe" Oh [Verse 2: Brooks & Dunn, Jelly Roll] A few years later I was off at college Talkin' to Mom on the phone one night (Phone one night) Gettin' 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 had died Later on that night I laid there thinkin' back Thought about 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 (The other side) It'd be that sweet old man Who looked me in the eyes [Chorus: Brooks & Dunn, Jelly Roll] He said, "I raise my hands (Raise my hands) Bow my head (Bow my hand) I'm findin' 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" [Bridge: Jelly Roll, Brooks & Dunn] I can't quote the 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 [Chorus: Jelly Roll, Brooks & Dunn, Both] Oh, I raise my hands (I raise my hands) Bow my head (Bow my head) I'm findin' more and more truth (I'm findin' more truth) In the words written in red (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) [Outro: Jelly Roll, Brooks & Dunn] 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
