Every now and then country music can knock one out of the park. I believe by Brooks and Dunn was one of those. I loved this song the first time I heard it. A lot of truth is spoken because as I get older the words written in red mean more and more.

“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 friendship 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

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, 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”
