HE WAS DRIVIN'
HOME
ONE EVENIN'
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
TILL HE SAID
I'M HERE
TO HELP YA MA'AM
BY THE WAY
MY NAME'S JOE
SHE SAID I'M FROM
ST. LOUIS
AND I'M ONLY
PASSIN' THROUGH
I MUST'VE SEEN
A HUNDRED CARS
GO BY
THIS IS AWFUL NICE
OF YOU
WHEN HE CHANGED
THE TIRE
AND CLOSED
THE 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
WHEN SOMEONE
ONCE
HELPED ME OUT
JUST THE WAY I'M
HELPIN' YOU
IF YOU REALLY
WANNA
PAY ME BACK
HERE'S 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'VE 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
HELPIN' YOU
IF YOU REALLY
WANNA PAY
ME BACK
HERE'S 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 THINKIN'
ABOUT THE MONEY
AND WHAT THE
LADY'S NOTE
HAD SAID
AS HER HUSBAND
LAY THERE SLEEPIN'
SHE WHISPERED
SOFT AND LOW
EVERYTHING'S
GONNA BE
ALRIGHT
I LOVE YOU
JOE
