The stories behind Twenty-Two at the Top

• Liner Notes: The Nu-Disco Groove Under 'Twenty-Two at the Top' — A gospel-soul anthem that leans further into disco on this take, plus the loading-dock line only this version sings.
• Twenty-Two at the Top: The Stat Behind Being the Only Woman in the Shop — A brassy anthem built on a number that surprises everyone: women lead the field above their share of it.

Lyrics

18

in the shop, 18, 22 at

the top, 22,

4 women out of 51,

1 program, 5 years,

that's the math I walked in with,

and look who's still here.

Shop shirts only came in a men's extra large

So I rolled up the sleeves and I built my own car

Only woman on the floor, yeah, I heard it all

Now they paged me first when the hard ones caught.

18

in the shop. 18.

22 at the top. 22.

Only one on the floor.

Now I'm just holding the door.

Oh,

oh,

Nothing off that truck touches a patient

Till it passes my test

Now I run the shop

And I mentor in the next 18

in the shop 18 22 at

the top 22 Only one on the floor

Now I'm holding the door

Oh, oh,

the only one to own the night shift

There's a card with your name on it

Come on in

18

in the shop 18

22 at the top 22

Only one on the floor

Now I'm holding the door

Oh, oh,
