=================================
He was driving
home one evening
in his beat up Pontiac
when an old lady
flagged him down,
her Mercedes had a flat
He could see that
she was frightened
standin' out there in the snow
'Til he said,
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU MA'AM
BY THE WAY, NY NAME'S JOE
She said,
I'M FROM SAINT LOUIS
AND I'M ONLY PASSING THROUGH
I MUST HAVE SEEN A
HUNDDRED CARS GO BY
THIS IS AWFUL NICE OF YOU
When he 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 say
YOU DON'T OWE ME A THING,
I'VE BEEN THERE TOO
SOMEONE ONCE HELPED ME OUT
JUST THE WAY I'M HELPING YOU
IF YOU REALLY
WANT TO PAY ME BACK
HERE IS WHAT YOU DO
DON'T LET THE CHAIN OF LOVE
END WITH YOU
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 couldn't help but notice
how the waitress smiled so sweet
and how she must have been
eight months along and
dead on her feet
No, 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 the door,
and on a napkin left a note
There were tears
in the waitress' eyes when she
read what she wrote
YOU DON'T OWE ME A THING,
I'VE BEEN THERE TOO
SOMEONE ONCE HELPED ME OUT
JUST THE WAY I'M HELPING YOU
IF YOU REALLY
WANT TO PAY ME BACK
HERE IS WHAT YOU DO
DON'T LET THE CHAIN OF LOVE
END WITH YOU
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
As her husband
lay there sleeping,
she whispered soft and low
EVERYTHING'S
GONNA BE ALL RIGHT
I LOVE YOU JOE
