Chesney Kenny The Good Stuff lyrics

Well, me an` my lady had our first big fight,
So I drove around `til I saw the neon light.
A corner bar, an it just seemed right.
So I pulled up.

Not a soul around but the old bar keep,
Down at the end an` looking half asleep.
An he walked up, an` 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.

``Cos 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,
``Cos your hands are shakin` so much.
`An` it`s the way that she looks with the rice in her hair.
`Eatin` burtn suppers the first whole year
`An` askin` for seconds to keep her from tearin` up.
`Yeah, man, that`s the good stuff.`

He grabbed a carton of milk an` her poured a glass.
An` I smiled an` said: `I`ll have some of that.`
We sat there an` talked as an hour passed,
Like old friends.

I saw a black an` white picture an` 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 bar,
`When the cancer took her from me.
`But I`ve been sober three years now,
``Cos 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.`
`An` it`s a new tee-shirt saying: `I`m a Grandpa`.
`Bein` right there as our time got small,
`An` 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.`
`An` look into those eyes, so deep in love,
`An` drink it up.
``Cos that`s the good stuff.
`That`s the good stuff.
