Frank D. Fixer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Frank D. Fixer was a handyman He could handle everything; he was my granddad He grew his own food and fixed his own car I watched it all happen in our backyard He'd reinvent the part to fix the broken home He'd restore the heart [Chorus] Well, I wish I was a fixer I would fix you up inside I would build you a town if the world fell down I wish I was that guy [Verse 2] If Frank D. Fixer were alive today Well he may laugh at me Or he may have a lot to say He might ask that I keep working for the family To keep the bills all paid and be his protégé What happened to the ground right where we are? What happened to the family farm? [Chorus] Well, I wish I was a fixer I would fix you up inside I would build you a town if the world fell down I wish I was that guy [Bridge] Every evening breaking bread He showed us who a real man is No matter what my grandma says He would never lose his head [Chorus] Well, I wish I was a fixer I would fix you up inside I would build you a town if the world fell down I wish I was that guy [Outro] I wish I was a farmer I would grow you a Garden of Eden And I would bless our family with the gifts that granddad handed me How wonderful that would be Baby I'll make that guy be me
