Stuff That Works

I've got an old blue shirt, it suits me just fine I like the way it feels, so I wear it all the time I've got an old guitar that won't ever stay in tune But I like the way it sounds in a dark and empty room I've got an old pair of boots that fit my feet just right I can work all day and dance all night I've got a new used car that runs just like a top I got a feeling it ain't ever gonna stop Stuff that works, stuff that holds up The kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall Stuff that's real, the stuff you feel Is the stuff you always reach for when you fall I've got a pretty good friend who's seen me at my worst And he don't care if I'm a blessing or a curse But he always shows up when the chips arе down That's the kind of stuff that I like to be around Stuff that works, stuff that holds up Thе kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall Stuff that's real, the stuff you feel Is the stuff you always reach for when you fall There's a woman I love, she's crazy, she paints like God She's got a playground sense of justice and she don't give odds I've got a tattoo with her name right through my soul And I think everything she touches turns to gold Stuff that works, stuff that holds up The kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall Stuff that's real, that stuff you feel That stuff you always reach for when you fall
