Through vivid and humorous verses, the song paints a picture of life in the countryside, where practical know-how is more prized than physical appearance. The protagonist is a jack-of-all-trades, fixing everything from cars to leaky sinks with his trusty tools. The chorus underscores the theme, highlighting that while city folks may focus on looking sharp, in the sticks, it's the strong arms and grease-stained boots that truly make a difference. This catchy and relatable tune is a tribute to all the handymen who keep the world running smoothly.

[Verse]
Out in the sticks ain't no big deal
Fix a car a cow a flying wheel
Rusty old tractor sippin’ on home brew
Hands in the grease ain't nothin’ new

[Verse 2]
Neighbor's callin' house needs mending
Got duct tape a wrench ain't no pretending
Fire up the engine you bet I can
Muscle and grime handyman

[Chorus]
Cause if you can't be handsome be handy
Oil-stained boots worn clothes coming in handy
Lookin’ sharp’s for city slickers
Out here strong arms fixin’ the critters

[Bridge]
Broken fence barbed wire tangled
Elbow grease ain't never dangled
They say charm can win you the girls
But a hammer and nails can save the world

[Verse 3]
She said her sink's leakin' hearts breakin' fast
Wanna win her over better pull out that flask
Pipe wrench love a handyman's art
Turnin' that valve fixin' her heart

[Chorus]
Cause if you can't be handsome be handy
Oil-stained boots worn clothes coming in handy
Lookin’ sharp’s for city slickers
Out here strong arms fixin’ the critters
