Grease on His Hands
Sun-baked rockabilly shuffle, slapback on twangy guitars and upright bass walking hard. Male vocals with a sly grin, hiccupy phrasing and call-and-response “whoa”s from a tight backing trio. Drums snap on the snare and ride, brief guitar break before final chorus, ending on a unison stop and cheeky vocal tag., rockabilly, male vocals

Lyrics
Verse 1
He got grease on his hands
Name patch hangin’ half off
White tee clingin’ to his back
When he bends
Whole town just stops
Verse 2
He pops that hood
Gives a nod
Says
“Darlin’
I’ll take a look”
I swear the way he turns that bolt
Could write a whole new book
Chorus
He’s my hot mechanic with a big wrench (oh yeah)
Turnin’ every bolt
Makin’ this heart clench
When he leans down low by the front bench
I’m overheatin’ for that boy and his big wrench
Verse 3
Cig tucked safe in his sleeve
Boot heel tappin’ in time
Oil stains on them blue jeans
Got my engine wrecked in my mind
Bridge
He wipes his hands on that rag real slow
Says
“You’re good to go” but I say “Oh
No”
“Check me again
Babe
Just to be sure”
He smiles
“Guess I’ll run one more…”
Chorus
He’s my hot mechanic with a big wrench (hey!)
Turnin’ every bolt
Makin’ this heart clench
When he leans down low by the front bench
I’m overheatin’ for that boy and his big wrench
Chorus
He’s my hot mechanic with a big wrench (woah)
Tune me up
Sugar
Give that handle one more tense
If lovin’ is a job
He’s on the short list
I’m ridin’ off grinnin’ ‘cause I got that wrench-kiss
