Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Grandpa held the wrench first Dad took the second turn I thought I’d be the one who burst With every lesson learned The Main Street shop is boarded tight Iron gates locked out the light But I still work until the night Making sure the spark stays bright [Pre-Chorus] Old man Miller needs a start Before the morning falls apart I don’t ever ask for pay I just like to clear the way [Chorus] I got grease beneath my nails And a heart that never fails Traded neon lights for gravel dust Fixing iron, fighting rust Tucked above the steering wheel Is how a rich man’s supposed to feel Nashville’s just a ghost I used to know I’m right where I need to go [Post-Chorus] Yeah, I'm right where I need to go Just a slow and steady flow [Verse] Nineteen was a heavy year Packed the Gibson, left the gear Thought I’d be a shining star Playing every Broadway bar But the screen door slams at noon To a different kind of tune Mrs. Halloway brought the glass Watching all the clouds pass [Pre-Chorus] Cold lemonade and a simple smile Makes it worth every dusty mile I don’t need the radio play I’ve got everything right here today [Chorus] I got grease beneath my nails And a heart that never fails Traded neon lights for gravel dust Fixing iron, fighting rust Tucked above the steering wheel Is how a rich man’s supposed to feel Nashville’s just a ghost I used to know I’m right where I need to go [Bridge] Yellowed paper, handwritten lines Better than the billboard signs “Thank you, son, for all your help” Better than the fame I felt In a dream that wasn’t mine Now I’m doing just fine [Solo] [Chorus] I got grease beneath my nails And a heart that never fails Traded neon lights for gravel dust Fixing iron, fighting rust Tucked above the steering wheel Is how a rich man’s supposed to feel Nashville’s just a ghost I used to know I’m right where I need to go [Hook] It’s the simple things I keep While the rest of the world’s asleep Just a mobile man in a quiet town Never let a neighbor down [Outro]
