Stuff That Works - Guy Clark

I got an old blue shirt and it suits me just fine

I like the way it feels so I wear it all the time

I got an old guitar, won’t ever stay in tune

I like the way it sounds in a dark and empty room

I got an old pair of boots and they fit just right

Well I can work all day and I can dance all night

I got an old used car and it runs just like a top

I get the feeling it ain`t ever going to stop

Stuff that works, stuff that holds up

The kind of stuff you don`t hang on the wall

Stuff that`s real, stuff you feel

The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall

I got a pretty good friend who`s seen me at my worst

He can’t tell if I`m a blessing or a curse

But he always shows up when chips are down

That`s the kind of stuff I like to be around

Stuff that works, stuff that holds up

The kind of stuff you don`t hang on the wall

Stuff that`s real, stuff you feel

The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall

I got a woman I love she`s crazy, paints like God

She`s got a playground sense of justice, she won’t take odds

I got a tattoo with her name right through my soul

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, stuff you feel

The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall

Stuff that works, stuff that holds up

The kind of stuff you don`t hang on the wall

Stuff that`s real, stuff you feel

The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall
