Lyrics

Most of the people in our town
Always used to laugh at Wesley
But somehow, poor old Wesley never seemed funny to me
Why, you know, if it wasn't for him
I wouldn't know much about life and livin'
Because when I was a young boy
Here's what he said to me
Don't believe anything you hear
And only half of what your eyes behold
And if you can't say somethin' good about someone
Don't say nothin' at all
Every mornin', I'd stand and I'd wait for Wesley
To come and take me down to our favorite place
There we'd sit all day and we'd talk
We'd talk about happy things while fishin'
He taught me how to live, how to be a man
And then he'd say
Don't believe anything you hear
And only half of what your eyes behold
And if you can't say somethin' good about someone
Don't say nothin' at all
Oh, how it hurt to hear people laugh at Wesley
They called him a silly old man right to his face
But I'm the only one who cried the day we lost Wesley
And how I'd give anything to hear him say
Don't believe anything you hear
And only half of what your eyes behold
And if you can't say somethin' good about someone
Don't say nothin' at all
If everybody tried to be more like Wesley
There wouldn't be no trouble at all
