Guy Clark — Stuff That Works lyrics

Lyrics

I got an olЂ™ 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
It wonЂ™t ever stay in tune
I like the way it sounds
In a dark and empty room
I got an olЂ™ pair of boots
And they fit just right
I can work all day
And I can dance all night
I got an olЂ™ used car
And it runs just like a top
I get the feelinЂ™ it ainЂ™t
Ever gonna stop
Stuff that works, stuff that holds up The kind of stuff you donЂ™t hang on the wall
Stuff thatЂ™s real, stuff you feel
The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall
I got a pretty good friend
WhoЂ™s seen me at my worst
He canЂ™t tell if IЂ™m a blessing
Or a curse
But he always shows up When the chips are down
ThatЂ™s the kind of stuff
I like to be around
I got a woman I love
SheЂ™s crazy and paints like God
SheЂ™s got a playground sense of justice
She wonЂ™t take odds
I got a tattoo with her name
Right through my soul
I think everything she touches
Turns to gold
