Charley Pride - Chain Of Love 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
'Til 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.

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.

This last verse of this song I really like

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
And as her husband lay there sleeping
She whispered soft and low
Everything's gonna be alright, I love you, Joe

    Charley Frank Pride... My childhood memories and when in met you in Branson in September of 2017...i was just diagnose with Stage 3 breast Cancer the week before..
    Trip was planned months in advance and had a meet and greet with you...I was flying from NJ, my son from AZ and meeting my sis in Ok where she lives then driving to Branson. Only my son knew of my diagnosis and I wanted my time with my sis to be worry free so I did not tell her...what a show you did that night...every song you sang like my son said were telling me I am gonna be fine...especially when you sang ”On the wings of a snow white dove”... Tears were silently streaming down my face...Thank you Mr.Pride for such a memorable night... 18 mths later I am in remission and doing well....

    Beautiful story, I saw Charley in Melbourne Australia in April of this year, I'd seen him with my Dad about 25 years ago, Dad past away in September of last year so it was an emotional night for me and I had tears in my eyes when he sang 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' it was my Dad's favourite song. Long may your good health continue.

    Dear Mr. Pride. Thank you for still living what you sing. My son was on a flight from DFW to Lake Charles. He was returning from Parris Island after his father passed away. Mr. pride was seated in coach surrounded by rowdy marines possibly coming home from a battle somewhere. My son just watched and as he exited he said good evening Mr. Pride Sir. Mr Pride stopped and looked at my son, put his hand on his shoulder and wished him well. I think Mr. Pride still lives his songs and is Semper Fi! God bless you Sir.

    please believe , it is the same joe. his giving came back to him in a big way multiplied over greatly. that is the way it works when you give freely. but you dont give just to exspect it back.

  25. R.... V....

    How are we supposed to know if it's the same Joe if we don't know his last name?

    R.... V....

    a great song like this doesn't need any nit picking

  26. J.... R....

    Charlie is still an Awesome singer, love this one too.

  27. R.... S....

    Clay Walker is good. But Charley adds special feelings to the song. My husband always stopped to help & he always said pass it on. Nice memory

    R.... S....

    Ruth Still i totally agree.

  28. B.... S....

    Charley Pride and Jim Reeves was my dad's favourites as well, if he had lived he would have been 86 and I'm sure a great fan of YouTube, Spotify etc. but sadly died 20 years ago before all the technology that is on the go now.

  29. B.... S....

    Clay Walker's version is really good with an excellent video.

  30. R.... S....

    The Orginal Artist Of Song Is Clay Walker
