Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers.

    For what it's worth, he sang this in Shreveport, LA and he was then asked to compose his mom's (?) father and thus "The Man Who Planted Trees" was released. Also a great tribute song.

    Best song.. Honors the hard work of those who toil from sun up to sun down. Both my parents grew up on farms and I spent my summers bailing hay as a child. Thanks Jason for playing Farm Aid and honoring those who put in an honest day's work EVERY day!

    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

    His voice is different, I don t know how to explain but the music seems to be easy to sing in his voice. Better than studio version.
