I've 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'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 go out and dance all night I've got a new used car that runs just like a top Yeah I get the feeling it ain't ever gonna stop Stuff that works stuff that holds up Is the kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall Stuff that's real that 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 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 friend I like to be around Stuff that works... There's a woman I love she's crazy and she paints like God She's got a playground sense of justice 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 works...
