I Believed Lyrics - Aaron Tippin

In a tiny town where the biggest things 

Were the water tower and a young boy's dreams 

I believed 

In a little house of simple means 

Where doing without, was a common scene 

I believed 

On a dried up square of worthless earth 

Where we scratched our living out of the dirt 

I believed 

In a little brown church where I first heard 

The choir sing and the preacher's word 

I believed, oh I believed 

And the closer that I looked within 

The further I could see 

And I really didn't have much other choice 

So, I believed 

In a high-rise world of steel and glass 

Where a man dies young if he don't think fast 

I believed 

(I believed) 

On the streets where the truth is hard to find 

And what's in it for me is the bottom line 

I believed 

(I believed) 

In a place where people don't seem to care 

They turn their backs like you're not there 

I believed 

Yeah, where anything goes, it usually does 

I held my breath and bit my tongue 

And I believed, oh I believed 

The closer that I looked within 

The further I could see 

And I really didn't have much other choice 

So, I believed 

In a higher place, in a deeper faith 

In a power stronger than you or me 

I believed 

Now, when they put that granite on my grave 

All I want that stone to say is 

I believed 

And where I'm from and the woman I love 

The job I did and God above 

I believed, I believed, I believed 

I believed 

(I believed) 

I believed 

(I believed) 

I believed 

(I believed) 

I believed 

(I believed)
