Lyrics
Posted my trouble before I turned in
Some cold blinkin', don't know
where it's been by morning somebody
I've never shook hands with
wrote back the answer quick as
a wish
Friends I've never met
Fixin' what I can
Somewhere out there
A stranger's got my back
A whole tray of neighbors
Spread out and wide
Nobody's alone With a busted machine tonight
Stubborn fall Hard wear to the bone
Receive the cash cards,
checked the back, plain and done
Somebody typed it out, plain and slow
Just to save a tear, they'd never know
Friends I've never met, fixing what I can
Somewhere out there, a stranger's got my back
A whole trade of neighbors,
spread out and wide
Nobody's alone with a busted machine tonight
No handshake, no face, just a name typed in
A favor passed from stranger to friend
That's the kindest kind of neighbor there is
One who helps you and asks nothing of it
Friends I've never met
Fixing what I can't
Somewhere out there, a stranger's got my back
A whole trade of neighbors spread
out and wide,
nobody's alone with a busted machine
tonight, friends I've never met.
you
