    Story Behind the Song
    I had a flat tire in front of the home of some people I didn't know. But when they saw me, they came over and changed my flat tire. It got me to thinking about all the kind acts that are done everyday. I think we should reflect more on all the positive around us. I took a recording of this song along with some candy back to these nice people in the house to say thanks. Why don't you make up some of your own verses to celebrate the good people you know?

    Lyrics
    HOW MANY DO YOU KNOW?

    by Linda E. McKeeth copyright 4/1/02

    When my life falls apart and I need a helping hand,
    I have a good dad who will always stand
    In that gap between bad times and good.
    No matter how many times, there he stood.

    Chorus:
    How many good, good people do you know in this world?
    How many good, good people do you know in this world?

    Before my daughter's wedding, she and I were on the run.
    Working on the decorations, but they weren't quite done.
    Had to get dressed. Sister says, "Leave it to me."
    When we came back, it was as pretty as could be.

    Chorus

    My kids are grown with their own families,
    But they come running if I have a need.
    They do not make me feel like I'm a burden.
    They are good, good people everyone.

    Chorus

    I was stranded 400 miles from home.
    I only felt deserted till I got to the phone.
    I called up a friend that I depend on.
    He dropped everything until he got me back home.

    Chorus

    My mom needed open heart surgery.
    My boss said, "That's where you need to be."
    Even though I'd worked there less than a year.
    When I got back my full paycheck was there.

    Chorus

    My neighbors follow the Golden Rule.
    They share a cup of sugar or just the right tool.
    My little push mower wouldn't cut that tall grass.
    They brought their riding mower & did it real fast.

    Chorus

    Then there are those you haven't met before.
    Until you have a flat tire at their front door.
    They change your tire and they treat you kind.
    They get you on you way and out of that bind.

    Chorus

    I have only mentioned just a few.
    I couldn't begin to tell you all I knew.
    Make up your own list and you will see
    How good, good people make the world happy.

    Chorus
