Well, me and my lady had our first big fight So I drove around till I saw the neon light The corner bar, it just seemed right so I pulled up Not a soul around but the old bar keep Down at the end lookin' 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 its 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 you're hands are shakin' so much And its the way that she looks with her eyes and her hair Eatin' 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 bu-font hair He said, that's my Bonnie, taken 'bout a year after we wed He said, I spent five years in the bar when the cancer took her from me But I've been sober three years now 'Cause the one thing's 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 And its a new t-shirt sayin' I'm a grandpa Bein' right there as our time got small And holdin' her hand when good the 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 Look into those eyes so deep in love and drink it up 'Cause that's the good stuff That's the good stuff
