Frank D. Fixer Songtext / Lyric

Frank D. Fixer was a handyman

He could handle anything

He was my granddad

He grew his own food

And he could fix his own car

I watched it all happen

In our backyard



He'd re-invent the part to fix a broken home

He'd restore the heart



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



Well, if Frank D. Fixer were alive today

Well, he might 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?



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



Every evening breaking bread

He showed us who a real man is

No matter what my grandma said

He would never lose his head



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



Well, I wish I was a farmer

I would grow you a Garden of Eden

And I would bless our family with the gifts

My granddad handed me

How wonderful that would be

Maybe I'll make that guy be me
