^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
