Stuff that works - Guy Clark cover by Carson McKee

So this is not my content
all rights go to Carson McKee

but I would like to share a song with you that resonates with me.
It is a song by Guy Clark, do check him out if you haven't heard of him, I am not really into country music but when anybody sings that much honest,
you can sense it is good because you feel it with your whole body.

Thanks to Carson McKee I've been able to hear this particular song, the song is about true values to put it bluntly but I would like you to read the full text before you listen to it.

[Chorus]
Stuff that works, stuff that holds up
The kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall
Stuff that's real, stuff you feel
The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall

I 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 got an old guitar won't ever stay in tune
I like the way it sounds in a dark and empty room

I got an old pair of boots and they fit just right
Well I can work all day and I can dance all night
I got an old used car and it runs just like a top
I get the feeling it ain't ever gonna stop

I got a pretty good friend who's seen me at my worst
He can't tell if I'm a blessing or a curse
But he always shows up when the chips are down
That's the kind of stuff I like to be around

I got a woman I love, she's crazy and paints like God
She's got a playground sense of justice, she won't take odds
I got a tattoo with her name right through my soul
I think everything she touches turns to gold

The writer beautifully explains a lot things I can't describe
so I hope you enjoy
