I was born in the southland, down there in Texas, U.S.A.
I was never supposed to know a moment
Of unhappiness in my life
Somehow it didn't work out that way

I was born back in the sixties
I was born and raised to win
We had beaten, beaten back the darkness
But somehow the darkness slipped back in

If I ever get to Heaven
Which I hope I'm gonna do
They'll say, 'How did you know?'
I'll say, 'I just knew, I always believed in you'

I went looking for a lover
But I didn't know the rules
I made six wrong turns and nearly died
But the 7th time I made it through

I went looking for the answers
I wanted nothing but truth
I went driving towards a light at a hundred miles an hour
But I was running low on proof

If I ever get to Heaven
Which I hope I'm gonna do
And they'll say, 'How did you know?'
I'll say, 'I just knew, I always believed in you'

Gonna walk right up to the bossman I'm gonna say
Couldn't believe the scene down there
It was kinda like livin' in a dream down there
There wasn't too much to believe in down there
Believe it or not, I always believed in you

If I ever get to Heaven
Which I hope I'm gonna do
And they'll say, 'How did you know?'
I'll say, 'I made it through 'cause I always believed in you'

I couldn't believe the crazy scene down there
It was kinda like linin' in a dream down there
There wasn't too much to believe in down there
Believe it or not, I always believed in, in you
I always believed in you, I always believed in you
I always believed in you
