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?
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net]
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
