Grease and Grace

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain hits the gravel hard
Life dealt a heavy card
The griddle starts to moan
I'm standing here alone
The apron’s tied so tight
Against the Memphis night
[Pre-Chorus]
The knife is sharp and true
Better than loving you
The starch is thick and white
In the flickering light
[Chorus]
I'm peeling back the skin
Letting all the light in
One potato then another
Like a long-lost brother
I hum a delta strain
To wash away the pain
It’s a kitchen floor salvation
My quiet little station
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah it's grease and grace
In this lonely place
Just grease and grace
I've found my pace
[Verse]
My fingers feel the dirt
Beyond the old-time hurt
The whistle blows so lonesome
The shadows look so wholesome
My coffee’s cold and black
There ain't no turning back
[Pre-Chorus]
I see my calloused hand
Finally understand
This chipped and broken cup
Is enough to fill me up
[Chorus]
I'm peeling back the skin
Letting all the light in
One potato then another
Like a long-lost brother
I hum a delta strain
To wash away the pain
It’s a kitchen floor salvation
My quiet little station
[Bridge]
The Hammond starts to swell
I’m ringing my own bell
No more hollow blues
I’ve paid all my dues
Redemption in the steam
Waking from a dream
[Solo]
[Chorus]
I'm peeling back the skin
Letting all the light in
One potato then another
Like a long-lost brother
I hum a delta strain
To wash away the pain
It’s a kitchen floor salvation
My quiet little station
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah it's grease and grace
In this lonely place
Just grease and grace
I've found my pace
[Outro]
