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
E A
There's an old Texaco right across from the Athens Woolworth
A
Billy Joe Taylor's underneath that lift
There ain't a car on the planet that he can't fix
E A
He swears on his chrome-plated ratchet that his heaven on earth
Chorus
D
Well, he can make a rusty muffler purr like a kitten
A
Or an old Nash Rambler top out at one-fifty
E
Georgia's never seen a man more at peace
D
Than when Billy'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
E A
And the only man in town who can make Charlie Vincent's van go
A
When the sun goes down and the day is endin'
Billy's still rockin' with a rack and pinion
E A
Long as that boy's at work, well he's right at home
Back to Chorus
Bridge
E
Well, he's a rotatin,' lug nuttin,'
D A
Spark pluggin' good ole boy
With his name on his shirt
E D
And Thelma Lou Taylor likes to hang out at the station
E
'Cause she loves to watch him work
Back to Chorus
After Chorus
E
Yeah, Georgia's never seen a man more at peace
D
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease
Athen's grease, baby
