D He was drivin' home one evening in his beat up Pontiac
When an old lady flagged him down her Mercedez had a flat
He could A see that she was frightened, standin' out there in the snow
Til he said I'm here to help you maam, by the way my name's D Joe
(Verse)
D She said "I'm from St-Louis" and I'm only passin' through
I must've seen one hundred cars go by this is awful nice of you
When he A changed the tire and closed her trunk and was about to drive away
She said how much do I owe you; here's what he had to D say
(Chorus)
You don't owe me a G thing; I've been there D too
And someone A once helped me out
Just the D way I'm helping you
If you G really want to pay me back
D Here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love A end with D you
(Verse)
D Well a few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe
She went in to grab a bite to eat and then be on her way
But she A couldn't help but notice how the waitress smiled so sweet
And how she must've been eight months along and dead on her D feet
(Verse)
D And though she didn't know her story and probably never will
When the waitress went to get her change from a hundred dollar bill
The A lady slipped right out the door and on a napkin left a note
There were tears in the waitress' eyes when she read what she D wrote
Repeat Chorus
(Verse)
D That night when she got home from work the waitress climbed into bed
She was thinkin' about the money and what the lady's note had said
As her A husband lay there sleepin' she whispered soft and low
Everything's gonna be alright; I love you - D Joe
