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 a 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

Cause girl I love you now

Till 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 mama'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 enought to shake the ground that my

Feet have been walking on

Girl I love you now

Till I hear that trumpet sound

Oh, wherever you are, I belong"

60 years go by

In the blinking of a young girls eye

All 5 kids are up and grown

Having families of their own

And they hear Papa'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?"

He said: "Girl I love you now,

But i hear that trumpet sound

And I 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 enought to shake the ground that my

Feet have been walking on

Girl I love you now,

Till I hear that trumpet sound
