Made to Last

There's a wristwatch 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 high school
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
