He was driving home one evening in his beat up Poniac
when an old lady flagged him down her Mercedes had a
flat. He could tell that she was frightened standing
out there in the snow till he said I'm here to help
you ma'am, by the way my names Joe. She said I'm from
St. Louis and I'm only passing threw I must of seen a
hundred cars go by this is awfull nice of you and as
he changed her 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 say:
(chorus)
You don't owe me a thing, I been there too. Someone
once helped me out just the way I'm helping you. If
you really want to pay me back, here's what you do:
Don't let the chain of love end with you.
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 couldn't help but notice how the waitress
smiled so sweet. And how she must of been eight months
along and dead on her feet. Though she didn't know her
story and she probably never will, when the waitress
went to get her change from a hundred dollar bill. The
lady slipped right out ther door and on a napkin left
a note there were tears in the waitress eyes when she
read what she wrote.
(Chorus)
That night when she got home from work the waitress
climbed into bed she was thinking about the money and
what the lady's note had said. And as her husband lie
there sleeping she whispered soft and low.
Everything's gonna be alright. I love you, Joe.
*Tip* The song CAN be played by using the A7 chord at
the " I love you" part but I don't play it that way.
