It was 10:00 pm.
I sat on my bed, about to plug in my earbuds when I heard someone singing outside.
The voice sounded familiar.
"If you need your car towed,
If that Volkswagen breaks down on the way out of this town.
I know a guy.
I'll make a few calls.
If you need something part time.
'Til you're back on your feet,
I know a guy..."
It was Benny.
I slightly smiled as he continued.
"And if you're looking for someone barely hanging on,
lost the only thing that he ever loved, wishing you would come over. Give anything just to hold ya.
If you're tryna find a man who lost his mind, doesn't sleep at night unless he's dreamin' 'bout you layin' right here beside him, prayin' someday you might feel like forgivin'. And think about giving him one...more...try. Then I know a guy."
He looked at me for a little while...
I loved the song. It was by Chris Young. I started to sing along. He definitely made it up to me, I thought.
"If you would ask me to think of a person that didn't deserve you, I know a guy. And if you needed a man to never really listen, not know what he'd be missing, I know a guy. If you're looking for someone barely hanging on, Lost the only thing that he ever loved. Wishing you would come over,
Give anything just to hold ya. If you're trying to find a man who lost his mind,
Doesn't sleep at night unless he's dreaming about you laying right here beside him. Praying someday you might feel like forgiving, And think about giving him one more try. Then I know a guy."
Next thing I knew, we were both singing in happy tears.
"Yeah I know a guy. Who feels like a fool,
He's been hating himself for what he put you through. He'd take it all back if he only knew how. He knows that you've probably moved on by now... But if you're looking for someone barely hanging on,
Lost the only thing that he ever loved.
Wishing you would come over,
Give anything just to hold ya.
If you're trying to find a man who lost his mind, Doesn't sleep at night unless he's dreaming about you laying right here beside him. Praying someday you might feel like forgiving, And think about giving him one more try. Then I know a guy. One, one more try. I know a guy."
I smiled out the window.
"You believe me?" I asked.
He closed his eyes. "Yes."
I smiled some more.
He made a face that said: one more thing... before saying, "and Phillips is in the hospital."
