| 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 restored the heart
|
| 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
|
| If Frank D. Fixer were alive today
|
| Well he may laugh at me and he may have a lot to say
|
| Well 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?
|
| 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
|
| Every evening breaking bread
|
| He showed us who a real man is
|
| No matter what my grandma says
|
| He would never lose his head
|
| 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
|
| I wish I was a farmer
|
| I would grow you a Garden of Eden
|
| I would bless the family with the gifts that granddad handed me
|
| How wonderful that would be
|
| Baby I’ll make that guy be me |
