He was [A] driving home one evening [D] in his beat-up Pontiac
When an old lady flagged him down a Mercedes had a flat
[A] He could see that she [E] was frightened
[A] Standing out there in the snow
Julie said I'm here to help you ma'am.
By the way, my [D] name's 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 all for nice of you
[A] When he changed her tire [E] and closed the trunk and [A] was about to drive away
She said how much do I owe you?
Here's what he had [D] to say
You don't [G] owe me a thing
Been there [D] to
Someone [A] once
Helped me out
[D] Just the way I'm helping you
[G] If you really wanna pay me back
[D] Here's what [G] you do
Don't let [D] the chain
In [A] [D] with you
Well a few miles down the road
lady saw a small cafe
She went in to grab a bite to eat and then be on her way
[A] But she couldn't help [E] but notice
[A] How the waitress my so sweet
How she must have been [D] eight months long and dead on [D] her feet
Though she didn't know her story and she probably never will
When the waitress went to get her change from
$100 bill
The [A] lady slipped right out the door
[E] [A] No, no [Em] napkin left to [A] know
There were tears in the waitress eyes when she read what [D] she wrote
You don't [G] owe me a thing
I've been there [D] to
Someone [A] once helped me out
[D] Just the way I'm helping you
[G] If you really wanna pay me back
[D] Here's what [G] you do
Don't let [D] the chain of love
[A] in with you
This last verse in this song I really like
That night when she got home from work the waitress climbed in the bed
She was thinking about the money
What the ladies know had said
And as a husband lay [E] there sleeping
[A] She whispered soft and low
Everything's gonna be alright.
I
Love you Joe
