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...
