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
