  • Frank D. Fixer was a handyman
    He could handle anything; he was my granddad
    He grew his own food and could fix his own car
    I watched it all happen in our backyard
    He'd reinvent 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 may 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?

    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 says
    He would never lose his head

    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 the family with the gifts that granddad handed me
    How wonderful that would be
    Baby I'll make that guy be me Writer/s: Jason Mraz, Martin Terefe, Sacha Skarbek
