Made to Last

There's a wristwach in a glass case
 and it's really caught my eye
 It's stainless steel and and it's guaranteed
 to tick on until I die
 It costs as much as a good horse
 still I lust when I walk past
 cuz in a throw-away world I'm a sucker
 for something made to last
 I drive a pickup I bought in highschool
 built with pride in Detroit steel
 She's 40 years old but she purrs like a kitten
 when I climb behind the wheel
 I could trade her in no problem
 for something shiny new and fast
 but in a throw-away world I'm a sucker
 for something made to last
 Something that will stand up to father time
 and punch him right in the mouth
 something I can count on forever
 yeah that's what I'm talking about
 Now your love is such a precious thing
 it's a feather and it's a stone
 You've walked with me right through the fire
 when my ray of hope was gone
 You whisper words of courage
 when I'm broken and down cast
 when I'm stumbling and I'm crumbling
 You give me something made to last
 Something that will stand up to father time
 and punch him right in the mouth
 something I can count on forever
 yeah that's what I'm talking about
 You just hold me that much tighter
 when I'm broken and down cast
 In a throw-away world baby
 give me something made to last
 Yeah it's a throw-away world
 but babe we got something
 made to last
