Chain Of Love

The other day I was on my way to work when a song came on the radio. It sounded like an older song, and I couldn't believe I had never heard it before. But the lyrics were so cute and it kept me waiting in the parking lot until the song was over. I had tears in my eyes by the end of the song! Either it's just THAT good, or I'm just a girl who is emotional..... whatever. But either way, it's such a cute song.

The lyrics really caught my attention. I was expecting this to be a typical Love song. A boy finds a girl, they fall in love, happily ever after. And I was surprised at the ending :) Here are the lyrics!




"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,
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 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've 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.

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.

And though 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's 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 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' about the money,
And what the lady's note had said.
As her husband lay there sleeping,
She whispered soft and low,
Everything's gonna be alright, I love you, Joe."




Ok...... If those Lyrics don't make you want to be a better person, then I don't know what does! Imagine what it would be like if the whole world were that way. I don't know about you, but that makes me want to go do something nice for someone!




Just a cute little reminder to myself! Have a great day! =)
