I don't own nothing 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, spinning around
People walking around on shaky ground
My foundation's solid
Like a vessel getting tossed on the big blue sea
Trying 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 something 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 falling
In a great big world, spinning around
People walking around on shaky ground
My foundation's solid
Like a vessel getting tossed on the big blue sea
Trying 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
