Well, me and my lady had our first big fight
So I drove around `till I saw the neon lights
Of a corner bar, It just seemed right, So I pulled up
Not a soul around but the old barkeep
Down at the end and loooking half asleep
But he walked up and said what`ll it be?
I said the good stuff
He didn`t reach around for the whiskey
He didn`t pour me a beer
His blue eyes kinda went misty
He said you can`t find that here
`Cause it`s the first long kiss on a second date
Momma`s all worried when you get home late
And droppin` the ring in the spaghetti plate `cause
your hands are shakin` so
much
And it`s the way that she looks with the rice in her
hair
Eatin` burnt supper the whole first year
And askin` for seconds to keep her from tearin` up
Yeah man, that`s the good stuff
He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured a glass
And I smiled and said I`ll have some of that
We sat there and talked as an hour passed like old
friends
Saw a black and white picture and he caught my stare
It was a pretty girl with mufont hair
He said that`s my Bonnie, taken about a year after we
wed
He said I spent five years in the bottle when the
cancer took her from me
But I`ve been sober three years now
`Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey
Was the sight of her holdin` my baby girl
The way she adored that string of pearls
I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl married
his high school love
It`s a new t-shirt sayin` I`m a grandpa
Bein` right there as our time got small
And holdin` her hand when The Good Lord called her up
Yeah man, that`s the good stuff
He said when you get home she`ll start to cry
When she says I`m sorry, say so am I
And look into those eyes so deep in love
And drink it up
`Cause that`s the good stuff
That`s the good stuff
