The Good Stuff (好东西) - Countdown Singers[00:00:00]
Well me and my lady had our first big fight[00:00:11]
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights[00:00:14]
The corner bar[00:00:17]
It just seemed right so I pulled up[00:00:19]
Not a soul around but the old bar keep[00:00:24]
Down at the end lookin' half asleep[00:00:27]
He walked up and said What'll it be[00:00:31]
I said''The good stuff[00:00:34]
He didn't reach around for the whiskey[00:00:37]
He didn't pour me a beer[00:00:41]
His blue eyes kind of went misty[00:00:44]
He said You can't find that here[00:00:47]
'Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date[00:00:50]
Momma's all worried when you get home late[00:00:54]
Droppin' the ring in the spaghetti plate[00:00:57]
'Cause your hands are shakin' so much[00:01:01]
It's the way that she looks with the rice in her hair[00:01:03]
Eatin' burnt suppers the whole first year[00:01:07]
And askin' for seconds to keep her from tearin' up[00:01:11]
Yeah man that's the good stuff[00:01:16]
He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured a glass[00:01:24]
Then I smiled and said I'll have some of that[00:01:28]
We sat there and talked as an hour passed like old friends[00:01:31]
Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare[00:01:37]
It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair[00:01:40]
He said That's my Bonnie taken 'bout a year after we wed[00:01:44]
He said Spent 5 years in the bar[00:01:50]
When the cancer took her from me[00:01:54]
But I've been sober three years now[00:01:57]
'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey[00:02:01]
Was the sight of her holdin' my baby girl[00:02:04]
The way she adored that string of pearls[00:02:07]
I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl[00:02:11]
Married his high school love[00:02:14]
And it's a new t-shirt saying I'm a grandpa[00:02:17]
And being right there as our time got small[00:02:21]
And holdin' her hand when the good Lord called her up[00:02:24]
Yeah man That's the good stuff[00:02:29]
He said ''When you get home she'll start to cry[00:02:44]
When she says I'm sorry say so am I[00:02:47]
Then look into those eyes[00:02:50]
So deep in love and drink it up[00:02:53]
'Cause thats the good stuff[00:03:00]
That's the good stuff[00:03:07]
