The Stuff

I ain't saying I don't wanna give you the finer things

A car in the drive and the house of your dreams

I could fill it up with all the things you love

I could spend my life trying to make it enough

Feels so good when the cotton is high

You can tell by the way I'm walking'

I can't deny feeling oh so fly

With a C note in my pocket

But baby remember when times got tough

We always had enough

Without the stuff

Way back before the kids were running round this place

We took boats and planes

And went on far away vacations

But then one day

A little line rewrote our song

We gave back them toys

But man, we still had it all

Feels so good when the cotton is high

You can tell by the way I'm walkin'

I can't deny feeling oh so fly

With a C note in my pocket

But baby remember when times got tough

We always had enough

Without the stuff

Somewhere down the road I see us rocking in our chairs

Just sipping on ice tea and talking about the life we've shared

All the stuff is gone

Except the twinkle in your eye

Oh we had us some fun

But this right here you just can't buy

Feels so good when the cotton is high

You can tell by the way I'm walkin'

I can't deny feeling oh so fly

With a C note in my pocket

But baby remember when times got tough

We always had enough

You know we always had enough

Without the stuff

I ain't sayin' I don't wanna give you the finer things
