Another of the great songwriters, two of them actually, would be Guy Clark and Rodney Crowell.
I was privileged to have a hit with one of Guy's songs called The Carpenter.
And this is a song I've recorded.
It's been around for a while.
Probably everybody's heard maybe Guy do it or maybe Rodney.
I'm not sure.
But I love what this song has to say.
I'm a fairly simple guy.
I like simple things.
And in this world we live in now, simple is what we've got to head back to, in my opinion.
And this song, I think, underlines that.
This is called Stuff That Works.
Got an old blue shirt and [G] it suits me [D] just fine.
I like the way it feels [G] so I wear it all the [D] time.
Got an old guitar, won't ever stay in tune.
I like the way it sounds in [A] a dark and empty [D] room.
Got an old pair [G] of boots and they fit [D] just right.
I can work all day [G] and I can dance [D] all night.
Got an old used car [G] that runs just like [D] a top.
I get the feeling it [A] ain't ever gonna [D] stop.
Stuff [G] that works, stuff [D] that holds up.
The kind of stuff [A] you don't hang [D] on the wall.
Stuff [G] you feed, stuff [D] that's free.
The kind of stuff [A] you reach for [D] when you fall.
[A] [D]
Got a pretty good [G] friend who's seen me [D] at my worst.
He can't tell if I'm a blessing or a curse.
But he [D] always [G] shows up when the [D] chips are down.
That's the kind of [A] stuff I like to [D] be around.
Stuff that [G] works, stuff that holds up.
The kind of [A] stuff you don't hang [D] on the wall.
[G] Stuff that's free, stuff [D] you feed.
The kind of stuff [A] you reach for [D] when you fall.
[G] [D]
[A] [D]
[D] Got a woman I [G] love, she's crazy and [D] paints like God.
She's got a playground [G] sense of justice, she [D] won't take odds.
I got a tattoo with [G] her name right through [D] my soul.
I think everything [A] she touches [D] turns to gold.
Stuff [G] that works, [D] stuff that holds up.
The kind of stuff [A] you don't hang [D] on the wall.
Stuff [G] that's free, stuff [D] you feed.
The kind of stuff [A] you reach for [D] when you fall.
[G] Stuff that works, stuff [D] that holds up.
