Good Stuff Lyrics |
||
 Well me and my lady had our first big fightSo I drove around until I saw the neon lights At a corner bar. 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 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 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 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. |
