He Believed Songtext
von Aaron Tippin

Now he′d say can't never could do nothing
And wait′s what broke the wagon
There ain't no fence between right and wrong
Sometimes you gotta fight if you're gonna get along
You better stand up when that flag gets raised
Down on your knees when it′s time to pray
But the greatest thing about him to me
Was the fact that he believed

He believed in the good Lord above
A straight shootin′ rifle and the power of love
He believed in why the blood was shed
And if he couldn't be free, he′d rather be dead
And to never ever give up on your dreams
Oh, but most of all
Yeah, most of all
He believed in me


Well, he had his own opinion
About the world and its condition
Spare the rod, spoil the child
Reap what you sow if you let it grow wild
You just gotta deal with the hand you're dealt
Never give up and you never really fail
But the greatest thing about dad to me
Was the fact that he believed

He believed in the good Lord above
A straight shootin′ rifle and the power of love
He believed in why the blood was shed
And if he couldn't be free, he′d rather be dead
And to never ever give up on your dreams
Oh, but most of all
Yeah, most of all
He believed in me

Oh, and just because of him
I know who I am today
And all because of that
I know where he's gonna stay


Yes, he believed in the good Lord above
A straight shootin' rifle and the power of love
He believed in why the blood was shed
And if he couldn′t be free, he′d rather be dead
And to never ever give up on your dreams
Oh, but most of all
Yeah, most of all
Oh, most of all
Yeah, most of all
He believed in me

Whole lotta love on the line
So thankful to have the chance to write this song with
One of my great friends and mentors, Donnie Keyes
Donnie's without a doubt one of the guys
That I respect most in the songwriting world
And when we finished this one, boy, I knew it was a hit
