Lyrics: Good Stuff

Well me and my lady had our first big fight
So i drove around till i saw the neon lights
of the corner bar
it just seemed right so I pulled up
not a soul around but the old bar keep
down at the end and lookin' half asleep
but he walked up and said "what will it be"
I said "the good stuff"

He didnt reach around for the whiskey
he did didn't pour me a beer
his blue eyes kinda went misty
and said "Well you cant find that here..

coz its the first long kiss on a second date
your mommas all worried when you get home late
and droppin' the ring in the spagetti plate
coz your hands are shakin' so much
its the way that she looked with the rice in her hair
eatin' burnt suppers the whole first year
and askin' for seconds to keep her from tearin' up
yeah man thats the good stuff

He had a carton of milk and he poured a glass
I smiled and said "ill have some of that"
as we sat there and talked
as an hour passed like old friends
i saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare
it was a pretty girl with boonfah hair
he said "thats my Bonnie
taken about a year after we wed"

he said "It's been five years in the bottle
when the cancer took her from me
but ive been sobar three years now
coz theres one thing stronger than the whiskey

its the sight of her holdin' our baby girl
how she adored that string of pearls
i gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl
married his high school love
its a new T-sahirt sayin' "Im a grandpa"
being right here as our time got small
and holdin' her hand
when the good Lord called her up
yeah man thats the good stuff

he said "when you get home she'll start to cry
when she says "im sorry" say "so am I"
and look into her eyes so deep in love
and drink it up
coz thats the good stuff
