Kenny Chesney – The Good Stuff lyrics

Well me and my lady had our first big fight
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights
At the corner bar it just seemed right so I pulled up

Not a soul around but the old barkeep
Down at the end and looking half asleep
And he walked over and said what'll it be I said the good stuff

He didn't reach around for the whisky
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 the second date
Mama's all worried when you get home late
And droping the ring in the spaggetti plate
Cause you hand are shaking so much
And its the way she lookes with rice in her hair
Eating burnt suppers the whole first year
And asking for seconds just to keep her from tearing up
Yeah man that's the good stuff

He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured a glass
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 beuphant hair
He said thats my bonnie taken 'bout a year after we were wed

He said I spent five years at the bottom
When the cancer took her from me
And I've been sober 3 years now
Cause the one thing stronger then the whisky

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 hight school love
And its a new tee shirt sayin I'm a grandpa
Being right there as her time got small
And holding her hand as the good lord called her up
Yeah man thats the good stuff

When you get home she'll start to cry
When she says sorry say so am I
And look in to those eyes so deep in love
And drink it up

Cause that's the good stuff
