Well  me and my lady had our first  big fight,
So  I drove around till I saw the neon  lights,
At  a corner bar, and it just  seemed right, so I pulled  up,
Not  a soul around but the ol' barkeep,
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,
Said  you can't find that here,
 Cause it's  the first long kiss on a second  date
Mamma's  all worried when you get  home late
 And droppin  the ring in the spaghetti  plate,
Cause  your hands  are shaking so much
 It's  the way she looks with rice  in 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 poured  a glass
I  smiled and said I'll have  some of that
We  sat there and talked as an hour  passed like ol' friends
Saw  a black and white picture and it caught  my stare
Was  a pretty girl with bouffant hair
 He said that's  my Bonnie, takin  bout a year after we wed
 He said spent  five years in the bottle  when the cancer  took her from me
 I've been  sober for three years now,
 Cause  the one thing stronger  than the whiskey  was the
 The sight  of her holdn 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 sayin I'm  a Grand Pa
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
