Frank D. Fixer

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 protege 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
