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.
