Lyrics
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
Oh wherever you are, I belong
Oh wherever you are, I belong"
