Clive Bruce - The Chain of Love
текст песни

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
Standing out there in the snow
Till he said, I'm here to help you, ma'am
And by the way, my name is Joe
She said, I'm from St Louis
And I'm only passing through
I must have seen a hundred cars go by
This is awful nice of you
When he changed the tyre and closed the trunk
And was about to drive away
She said, how much do I owe you, Joe?
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 helping 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
A 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
She must have been eight months along
And dead on her feet
But 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
On a napkin, left a note
There were tears in the waitress' eyes
When she read what she'd 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 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 thinking about the money
And what the lady's note had said
And as her husband lay there sleeping
She whispered soft and low
Everything's gonna be alright
I love you, Joe
