On a riddled rainy day now, on the mountain; old Flat Top
In Western Carolina, just watch the temperature drop
And the days about as short as my temper to rise up
Muster up some motivation and brew a cup
Been performing poorly, but pause before you panic
Just need a soul mechanic
I know a guy named Worley, he’s got all the schematics
He’s a soul mechanic
I been thinkin’ lately, that I greatly need a change
My oil’s thick like quick sand, like a tar pit in my brain
My alignment’s pullin’ ditchward, and I can’t stay in my lane
Check engine lights like an ambulance parade
Hey there now Worley! I’m morally meltin’ down, my mind is manic
I need a soul mechanic
We'll get to town surely, take Cane Creek then cut left at the paddock
Keep calm, less erratic
Don't know how much further I can drive
On these bald tires, a few more miles
Wipers slappin' side to side
My windshield's blinded, too much fog to see, oh to see
Hey there now Worley! If the problem’s miniscule or titanic
Got a soul mechanic
Gotta hum your own tune, if the radio’s all static
A new antenna, ain’t automatic
Don't know how much further I can drive
On these bald tires, a few more miles
Wipers slappin' side to side
My windshield's blinded, too much fog to see
Sure be taking his advice
With your soul you best not roll the dice
I'm prepared to pay a proper price
Knowin’ full well right, nothin' in this life is free, oh nothin's free
Hey there now Worley! Fixin’ up the world, so charismatic
You're my soul mechanic
Hey there now Worley! Fixin’ up the world, so charismatic
You're my soul mechanic
I'll be good to go... down any windy road
Shed your heavy load... trusted tread’ll take ya' home
