Clay Walker - The Chain Of Love Lyrics
(rory lee/jonnie barnett)He was driving home one evening,In his beat up pontiacWhen an old lady flagged him down,Her mercedes had a flatHe could see that she was frightened,Standing out there in the snowtil he said Im here to help you maam,By the way my name is joeShe said Im from st. louis,And Im only passing throughI must have seen a hundred cars go by,This is awful nice of youWhen he changed the tire,And closed her trunkAnd was about to drive away,She said how much do I owe youHeres what he had to sayYou dont owe me a thing, Ive been there tooSomeone once helped me out,Just the way Im helping youIf you really want to pay me back,Heres what you doDont let the chain of love end with youWell a few miles down the road,The lady saw a small cafeShe went in to grab a bite to eat,And then be on her wayBut she couldnt help but notice,How the waitress smiled so sweetAnd how she mustve been eight months along,And dead on her feetAnd though she didnt know her story,And she probably never willWhen the waitress went to get her change,From a hundred dollar billThe lady slipped right out the door,And on a napkin left a noteThere were tears in the waitresss eyes,When she read what she wroteYou dont owe me a thing,Ive been there tooSomeone once helped me out,Just the way Im helping youIf you really want to pay me back,Heres what you doDont let the chain of love end with youThat night when she got home from work,The waitress climbed into bedShe was thinkin about the money,And what the ladys note had saidAs her husband lay there sleeping,She whispered soft and lowEverythings gonna be alright, I love you, joe
