intro
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
Chorus
I wish I was a fixer
I wouldF#11b9 fix you up inside
I wouldF#11b9 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?
Chorus
