The Good Stuff [In the Style of Kenny Chesney [00:00:01]
Well me and my lady had our first big fight[00:00:18]
So I drove around until I saw the neon lights[00:00:21]
At a corner bar and it just seemed right[00:00:25]
So I pulled up[00:00:28]
Not a soul around but the old barkeep[00:00:31]
Down at the end lookin' half asleep[00:00:35]
And he walked up and and said "What'll it be "[00:00:38]
I said "The good stuff"[00:00:41]
He didn't reach around for the whiskey[00:00:45]
He didn't pour me a beer[00:00:48]
His blue eyes kinda went misty[00:00:52]
He said "You can't find that here"[00:00:54]
"'Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date[00:00:58]
Momma's all worried when you get home late[00:01:02]
And droppin' the ring in the spagetti plate[00:01:05]
'Cause your hands are shakin' so much[00:01:08]
And it's the way that she looks with the rice in her hair[00:01:11]
Eating burnt suppers the whole first year[00:01:15]
And askin' for seconds to keep her from tearin' up[00:01:18]
Yeah man that's the good stuff "[00:01:24]
He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured a glass[00:01:31]
And I smiled and said "I'll have some of that"[00:01:35]
We sat there and talked as an hour passed[00:01:38]
Like old friends[00:01:41]
I saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare[00:01:45]
It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair[00:01:48]
He said "That's my Bonnie[00:01:51]
Taken 'bout a year after we were wed"[00:01:54]
He said "Spent five years in the bottle[00:01:58]
When the cancer took her from me[00:02:02]
But I've been sober three years now[00:02:05]
'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey"[00:02:08]
"Was the sight of her holdin our baby girl[00:02:12]
The way she adored that string of pearls[00:02:15]
I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl[00:02:18]
Married his high school love[00:02:22]
And it's a new t-shirt saying "I'm a Grandpa"[00:02:25]
Being right there as our time got small[00:02:29]
And holding her hand when the good Lord called her up[00:02:32]
Yeah man that's the good stuff"[00:02:38]
He said "When you get home she'll start to cry[00:02:52]
When she says 'I'm sorry' say 'So am I'[00:02:55]
And look into those eyes so deep in love[00:02:59]
And drink it up 'cause that's the good stuff[00:03:05]
That's the good stuff"[00:03:15]
