Old man Wrigley lived in that white house Down the street where I grew up My 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 Said he was in the war 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 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' 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 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 child' old man Wrigley hass 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 Cause if there was ever anybody who deserved a ticket to the other side It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye and said 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 No' this can't be No' it can't be This can't be all there is When I raise my hands' bow my head Ooh' I still believe
