Phil Vassar - Athens Grease
Verse 1
[A]If you're headin' south on Georgia one twenty-nine
Straight into Athens past the Clark County line
There's an o[E]ld Texaco right across from the Athens Woolwo[A]rth
[A]Billy Joe Taylor's underneath that lift
There ain't a car on the planet that he can't fix
He sw[E]ears on his chrome-plated ratchet that his heaven on [A]earth
Chorus
Well, he can m[D]ake a rusty muffler purr like a kitten
Or an [A]old Nash Rambler top out at one-fifty
Georgia's n[E]ever seen a man more at peace
Than when B[D]illy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease
Verse 2
[A]Six days a week, he's a man on a mission
He's the redneck Picasso of the manual transmission
And the o[E]nly man in town who can make Charlie Vincent's van [A]go
[A]When the sun goes down and the day is endin'
Billy's still rockin' with a rack and pinion
[E]Long as that boy's at work, well he's right at h[A]ome
Back to Chorus
Bridge
Well, he's a [E]rotatin,' lug nuttin,'
[D]Spark pluggin' good ole [A]boy
With his name on his shirt
And Thelma [E]Lou Taylor likes to han[D]g out at the station
'Cause she [E]loves to watch him work
Back to Chorus
After Chorus
Yeah, Georgia's n[E]ever seen a man more at peace
Than when B[D]illy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease
Athen's grease, baby
