Stuff a Guy Can Use Songtext
von Brickwall Jackson

When I was just a little boy my daddy seemed so tall
He had a toolshed and a workbench he could fix it all
I′d stand and ask "Hey Dad what's that" hopin′ I could fill his shoes
He'd look down at me and say "Stuff a guy can use"
A pocketknife a workshirt and a pair of steel toe boots
A fishin' pole a .22 a Craftsman multi-tool
Leather gloves a hammer and sometimes an extra fuse
Hey man, that′s stuff a guy can use
Workin′ with my hands I learned the value of a buck
That's when I threw my back out and I learned to drive a truck
Worked my way through school as I tried to pay my dues
It weren′t no fun but it's stuff a guy can use
A full-time job bills to pay and time on bended knee


Faith in God and country and some real humility
You shouldn′t criticize a man till you're walkin′ in his shoes
Hey buddy, that's stuff a guy can use
Married a pretty little Southern girl and she settled me right down
Bought ourselves a little place in the west end of town
It won't too long before we heard the sound of tiny shoes
Hey it′s a brave new world but it′s stuff a guy can use
The love of a good woman and a peaceful happy home
A quiet restful soul that knows it'll never be alone
Gifts from God who call me "Dad" hey how can I refuse
Oh man, that′s the stuff a guy can use
Oooh yeah
Aw that's stuff this guy can use
