Good Stuff Lyrics

Well, me and my lady had our first big fight So I drove around until I saw the neon lights At a corner bar and it just seemed right So I pulled up
Not a soul around but the old barkeep Down at the end lookin' half asleep And he walked up and 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 spagetti plate 'Cause your hands are shakin' so much
And it's the way that she looks with the rice in her hair Eating burnt suppers 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
I saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair He said, "That's my Bonnie Taken 'bout a year after we were wed"
He said, "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 our 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
And it's a new t-shirt saying, "I'm a Grandpa" Being right there as our time got small And holding 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"
