Guy Clark - Stuff that works

Los derechos de la canción pertenecen al autor. Este vídeo sólo pretende su difusión.

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, wont 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
Well 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 aint ever gonna stop

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

I got a pretty good friend whos seen me at my worst
He cant tell if Im a blessing or a curse
But he always shows up when chips are down
Thats the kind of stuff I like to be around

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

I got a woman I love shes crazy, paints like God
Shes got a playground sense of justice, she wont take odds
I got a tattoo with her name right through my soul
I think everything she touches turns to gold

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

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

This song is the definition of a masterpiece in cowboy poetry.

This song's so solid you could touch it... "SONGS that WORK!" Way to go, Guy.

"I've got a tattoo with her name right through my soul." Goosebumps every single time.

There are songs written that makes you tap your foot, then there is this song that makes you shake your head. Thank you Guy, for all of them!

Watching The Rookie for the first time since 2001 stuffed in a small trailer with the family on the side of a canadian highway. Still bangs🤟

[Robert-ngyl]

Great song, one of those great ones, like clay pigeons.

[errolflynn]

“The Rookie” got me here.
A good solid movie and a good solid song.
…..Dang….!

[TheArtofGuitar]

I'm not crying, you're crying!

[RattlerMan]

Great song !!! Another Masterpiece from ole Guy

[TM-dhum]

'She's got a playground sense of justice, she don't take odds'. Wow. This entire lyric is diamond perfect.

[danielwallin]

No finer example of "three chords and the truth."

[MAGA.Garbage]

When the chips are down, this is the kind of stuff I reach for.

Great Song with meaningful Lyrics; love it with the soothing violin and leading twang from the ol' guitar "that never stays in tune but sounds great in a dark an empty room!" Perfect song for one of the songs of the movie "The Rookie" with Dennis Quaid which is why I am here and linking this; got the song name from reading the Credits of Movie. Never knew who Guy Clark was but now I'm listening to his music... Thanks Guy Clark for writing this song which is soothing soul music. Thanks for posting Diego.

I heard this song just this week in the movie "The Rookie, " and I liked it, so I looked it up. Of course it was Guy Clark. I should have known, he's the best.
