Athens Grease

• A

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
