Sybersound - Chain of Love Lyrics

He was drivin 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
Standing out there in the snow
Till he said I'm here to help you mam
By the way, my name's Joe

She said I'm from st. Louis
And I'm only passing through
I must of seen a hundred cars go by
This is awful nice of you

And when 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
You don't owe me a thing
I been there too
Someone once helped me out

Just the way I'm helpin you
If you really want to 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 of been 8 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 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

That night when she got home from work
The waitress climbed into bed
She was thinkin' bout 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 all right
I love you, Joe.
