Stuff That Works
Guy Clark

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 wonÅ  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 ainÅ 
Ever gonna stop

Chorus

Stuff that works, stuff that holds up
The kind of stuff you donÅ  hang on the wall
Stuff thatÅ  real, stuff you feel
The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall

I got a pretty good friend
WhoÅ  seen me at my worst
He canÅ  tell if IÅ  a blessing
Or a curse
But he always shows up
When the chips are down
ThatÅ  the kind of stuff
I like to be around

Chorus

I got a woman I love
SheÅ  crazy and paints like God
SheÅ  got a playground sense of justice
She wonÅ  take odds
I got a tattoo with her name
Right through my soul
I think everything she touches
Turns to gold

Chorus
