  • I don't own nothin' new
    I might look like a mess to you
    But I'm solid

    This ol' thing I drive around
    Got some rust, makes some funny sounds
    But it's paid for and solid

    You may think I'm way too chill
    But I get it done, got my daddy's will
    And I'll always, I'll always keep a promise

    In a great big world, spinnin' around
    People walkin' around on shaky ground
    My foundation's solid
    Like a vessel gettin' tossed on the big blue sea
    Tryin' to rock me off my feet
    It's you that keeps me solid

    Everybody wants me to think like they do
    Put my faith in somethin' new
    But this old school is tried and true, it's solid

    Got these 501's back in '93
    Yeah the blue's all gone, you can see my knees
    But to me man, they're still solid

    This old scarred-up piece of wood
    Sounds a lot better than it looks
    I can't count the nights that it's caught me when I was fallin'

    In a great big world, spinnin' around
    People walkin' around on shaky ground
    My foundation's solid
    Like a vessel gettin' tossed on the big blue sea
    Tryin' to knock me off my feet
    It's you that keeps me solid

    It's been a lotta years since I've taken this road home
    It's still not paved, Mama and Daddy's gone
    But the gravel in my soul is solid Writer/s: Anders Osborne, Eric Church
