Kenny Chesney - The Good Stuff lyrics

Well, me and my lady had our first big fight
So I drove around 'til I saw the neon lights
Of a corner bar
And it just seemed right so I pulled up
Not a soul around but the old bar keep
Down at the end and looking 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 kind of went misty
He said "You can't find that here"

'Cause it's the first long kiss
On a second date
Mama's all worried when you get home late
And dropping the ring in the spaghetti plate
'Cause your hands are shaking so much
And it's the way that she looks
With the rice in her hair
Eating burnt suppers the whole first year
And asking for seconds to keep
Her from tearing 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 about 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 holding 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 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
