Lyrics
[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]
