Not long after my father was murdered, my mom and I were driving to my Aunt's house, it was pouring and I mean pouring down rain, we had a flat on the highway. I remember a cowboy who pulled up behind us, got out of his pick-up with his white stetson hat and rain drenching him. He got the trunk opened, placed his new hat on the ground and changed our tire. I remember him placing his hat on his head, no longer white and dripping rain water down. He tipped the hat at us, got back in his truck and drove off, leaving us behind---no longer stranded. I have never forgotten what he did for us that day, he was a hero, just wish I had known who he was.

[@allisonschulthies1167]

Wow. He was your very own angel that day.

[@lucioleal3787]

That Cowboy made you a kind and thoughtful person.

[@jennylau8186]

Don't stop his chain of love and continue to pass it on 🥰

[@countryrick4594]

I do that a lot... One thay i curiosly changed two tires on the same spot at the same time.... 2 ladies stranded at night.. And i've seen a lot of car accidents on the road and 3 of them upside-down cars and got the people out of there including kids before police.. Ambulance and firefighters get there... And i always end up with scratches and small pieces of glass all over my body.. But so proud that i could help... Withou3 thinking of a car explosion or me being harm sonehow. It just feel sooo good to help🤠

[@czenereahtc64]

Sometimes angel act stranger , let's spread love 💕🙏

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 No, 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 " 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 As her husband lay there sleeping, She whispered soft and low "Everything's gonna be alright I love you, Joe"

@Clay Walker I truly love this song! But it makes me tear up, but thats the good stuff!😃👍

[@heatherb.4302]

Listening to this now in 2020 as racial inequities and current politics divides this country. "...don't let the chain of love end with you." Love thy brother, everybody.

[@joebydevaate3704]

I cannot but make a comment how true this song has been in my own life. Farming by myself in the early 80's. A friend of mine always helped me move a tractor or truck from one field to the next and I felt I could never pay him back, I felt so bad but he never needed help! Fast foward 10 years and I find myself in a position to help another close friend after he lost his dad. As he went oversees to attend the funeral and be with his family, I told him not to worry, I would look after putting in his crop for him. I remember his wife coming from the house as I was fueling up the tractor, tears running down her face, wondering how they could ever pay me back. That realy hit home! Fast forward to July 15 2000. After a short but very fierce battle with Cancer and witnessing my late wife seeing a "Beautiful Mansion" about 10 hours befoe Jesus called her home and then raising two girls for 5 years by myself I found myself getting married once again, and couldnt help but choose this song at our wedding.

[@chrachrochris]

This philosophy needed now more than ever. Thanks, Clay

[@drawnmap7023]

One of the best country songs EVER

[@rwj3373]

Drawn Map so much meaning behind the lyrics, todays country music just lost all meaning. There’s no heart in the lyrics

Yes. This and three wooden crosses. Both tell a tale of you never know

[@sigsongs1972]

I played this to a pub in Manchester Uk(before covid), guitar and singing. They absolutely loved it! I gave them the heads up on the awesome story and even me not being best on guitar, they got it 👌 class songwriting transcends all genres

I’m a full grown man in his prime and in tears every time I listen 😢

[@ronwatson4135]

The song " The Little Girl " by John Michael Montgomery is one that chokes me up. Especially the line where she is in the church and sees Jesus on the cross for the first time. She said she didn't know his name but she knows he got off because he was holding her the night her parents died. Yep ! Tearing up -----

This song brings a tear to my eyes. There's a conspiracy afoot, someone always cuts onions when I listen. I wish the world was more like this and NOT how it actually is... At least we know God wins in the end and He promised to fix it.

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I don't usually tear up from country songs but you did it Clay. Thank you for this!

"You don't owe me a thing" has been going randomly in and out of my head lately. I didn't know what this song was called and finally found it. It's sweet.

My neighbor, Bill, is the real life Joe. He co-wrote this song years ago.

The man is a poet! He spins a tale so swiftly, softly, and believably... If this song dont give you shivers down your spine... Take a look in a mirror and make sure you are not in fact a vampire. If not; give your fuckin head a shake

[@chriswentworth6624]

If this song says anything, it's "what goes around, comes around." Be careful of What you send around, it just might come back to you.

Yeah this song and “Then What” go hand in hand

I started working in radio 25 years ago. I played this song and loved it so much I learned it. One time I was singing it and my kids said "Shush Dad!!" My ex-wife said... "No I want to hear how it ends." We were always Kismet with Music.

[@CaseyCampbell17]

Kismet???

I love this song so much because it played at my grandpas funeral and it reminds me so much of him

I forgot about this song, but I literally just passed on some money to a young man in school that’s broke. He was talking about momma and his grandma having a birthday soon. I didn’t even hesitate. The cash was given to me, and I would rather someone who needs it to have it… the chain of love didn’t end with me tonight

Melted the ice from this heart. Thank you. Love how the love was returned in such a beautiful way.

Back when songs told stories about respect and courtesy. If you were to right a song about this situation today it would end in the first line, some millennial idiot would kill the old lady because they were texting and speeding. Of course the media would say it was an accident. Oh well so glad I spent my younger days listening to great music like this. It taught me values
