Grease and Grace

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dusty floor, three-bay light
Workin’ late on a Friday night
She walked in with her hood pulled low
Nowhere left for her to go
Grandpa’s name is on the door
I don’t want to fight no more
[Pre-Chorus]
Cracked radio playing "The Dance"
Looking for a second chance
I hand her a wrench and a rag
Watching the heavy air sag
[Chorus]
We’re just polishing the rust
Building back a little trust
In the bed of a ninety-eight
It’s never really too late
Turn the bolt and let it slide
Nothing left for us to hide
[Verse]
Grease-stained rags on the bench
She’s reaching for a silver wrench
Ninety-six on the FM dial
Finally saw a little smile
The engine hums a low-key tune
Underneath a paper moon
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows dancing on the wall
I will answer when you call
Let the static fade away
Find the words we couldn't say
[Chorus]
We’re just polishing the rust
Building back a little trust
In the bed of a ninety-eight
It’s never really too late
Turn the bolt and let it slide
Nothing left for us to hide
[Bridge]
Chrome is shining in the dark
Waiting for a single spark
It’s more than iron and steel
It’s making something real
Take it slow, don't you leave
Give us something to believe
[Solo]
[Verse]
Tailgate's down, sitting side-by-side
Nowhere left for us to ride
Half-polished bed, steel and chrome
Finally feels like a home
She leans her head on my arm
Safe away from any harm
[Chorus]
We’re just polishing the rust
Building back a little trust
In the bed of a ninety-eight
It’s never really too late
Turn the bolt and let it slide
Nothing left for us to hide
[Post-Chorus]
Just a girl and her old man
Doing all the good we can
With a little grease and grace
In this quiet, holy space
[Outro]
