Guy Clark Stuff That Works Lyrics

Stuff That Works Lyrics

I got an olblue 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抰 ever stay in tune 

I like the way it sounds 

In a dark and empty room 



I got an olpair of boots 

And they fit just right 

I can work all day 

And I can dance all night 

I got an olused car 

And it runs just like a top 

I get the feelinit ain抰 

Ever gonna stop  



Chorus 



Stuff that works, stuff that holds up 

The kind of stuff you don抰 hang on the wall 

Stuff that抯 real, stuff you feel 

The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall  



I got a pretty good friend 

Who抯 seen me at my worst 

He can抰 tell if I抦 a blessing 

Or a curse 

But he always shows up 

When the chips are down 

That抯 the kind of stuff 

I like to be around 



Chorus 



I got a woman I love 

She抯 crazy and paints like God 

She抯 got a playground sense of justice 

She won抰 take odds 

I got a tattoo with her name 

Right through my soul 

I think everything she touches 

Turns to gold 



Chorus
