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 are down
That´s the kind of stuff that 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, 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
