Lyrics
(Verse1 )
My right front radial was getting pretty low
Took a nail in the tread about a mile ago
That Texaco star was a sight for sore eyes
When I pulled up to the bay, man, was I surprised
(Chorus)
Her blue overalls were faded and frayed
She had a little grease on her cheek
But those big green eyes and that gorgeous smile
Almost brought me to my knees
I know it sounds crazy
But I felt a little panic
As I watched her change my tire I fell
For the mechanic
(Verse 2)
The letters on that oval name tag spelled out "Melinda King"
She had dirt on her hands but no sign of a ring
She asked if that was all and I said, "Not quite,
How?d you like to join me for some ribeye tonight?"
(Chorus)
Her blue overalls were faded and frayed
She had a little grease on her cheek
But those big green eyes and that gorgeous smile
Almost brought me to my knees
I know it sounds crazy
But I felt a little panic
As I watched her change my tire I fell
For the mechanic
(Bridge)
Six months later I asked her to marry me
And I just about flipped when she said she'd agree
Gonna love Melinda till the day I drop
I?m so glad I had that flat right next to her shop
(Chorus)
Her blue overalls were faded and frayed
And she had a little grease on her face
But those big green eyes and that gorgeous smile
I?ll always embrace
Even after all our time together
I feel just as frantic
As the day she changed my tire when I fell
for the mechanic
(Chorus )
Her blue overalls were faded and frayed
She had a little grease on her cheek
But those big green eyes and that gorgeous smile
Almost brought me to my knees
I know it sounds crazy
But I felt a little panic
As I watched her change my tire when I fell
For the mechanic
For the mechanic
