stuff that works

i got an ol' 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 won't ever stay in tune, i like the way it sounds, in a dark and empty room, i got an ol' pair of boots, and they fit just right, i can work all day, and i can dance all night, i got an ol' used car, and it runs just like a top, i get the feelin ' 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, 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 the chips are down, that's the kind of stuff, i like to be around, i got a woman i love, she's crazy and 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,
