All The Doubt In Town

They both grew up in a rusted out old pick up truck
Said 'i do" in late october
By november she was showing
By july the jig was up

So they bought a house,
Past the rundown church outside of town
She said 'baby i can't take it
Maybe this was a mistake
I 'm not the type to settle down

And he said 'all the doubt in town
Ain't enough to shake the ground that my feet have been walking on
Girl i love you now 'til i hear that trumpet sound
Oh, wherever you are, i belong

He lost his job
At the sawmill around christmas time
Yeah the bills were piling up
And all the odd jobs weren't enough to keep the timber on the fire

She said 'oh my god
My daddy warned me that this day would come
My momma's waiting in the car
I can't let my baby starve
Honey you and i are done

And he said 'all the doubt in town
Ain't enough to shake the ground that my feet have been walking on
Girl i love you now 'til i hear that trumpet sound
Oh, wherever you are, i belong

Sixty years go by
In the blinking of the young girl's eye
All five kids are up and grown
Having families of their own
And they hear poppa's gonna die

She takes his hand
Says 'god, oh please don't take away my man
Baby i can't let you leave
Why did you put up with me?
How did you know where we would land?'

And he said 'girl i love you now
But i hear that trumpet sound
And i've gotta be moving on
Though i leave you now
I'll be up there looking down
Keeping heaven's porch light on.'

'Cause all the doubt in town
Ain't enough to shake the ground that my feet have been walking on
Girl i love you now 'til i hear that trumpet sound
Oh, wherever you are, i belong.'
