Karaoké The Chain Of Love Mike Denver

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 cold

And he said I'm here to help you ma'me by the way my name's Joe

She said I'm from Saint Louis and I'm only passin' through

I must have seen a hundred cars go by this is awfully nice of you

As he changed the tires and closed the trunk and was about to drive away

She said how much do I owe you and 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 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 café

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

How she must have been eight months along and dead on her feet

Though she didn't know the story and she probably never will

When the waitress went to grab the change from a hundred dollar bill

The lady stepped right out the door 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' of the money and what the lady's note had said

As her husband lay there sleepin' she whispered soft and low

Now everything's gonna be alright

I love you Joe
