The Good Stuff Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

1 Well, me and my lady had our first big fight

2 So I drove around till I saw the neon lights

3 The corner bar

4 It just seemed right, so I pulled up

5 Not a soul around but the old bar keep

6 Down at the end lookin' half asleep

7 He walked up and said "What'll it be?"

8 I said,"The good stuff"

9 He didn't reach around for the whiskey

10 He didn't pour me a beer

11 His blue eyes kind of went misty

12 He said, "You can't find that here."

13 'Cause its the first long kiss on a second date

14 Your momma's all worried when you get home late

15 Droppin' the ring in the spaghetti plate

16 'Cause your hands are shakin so much

17 And it's the way that she looks with rice in her hair

18 Eatin' burnt suppers the whole first year

19 And askin' for seconds to keep her from tearin' up

20 Yeah man, that's the good stuff

21 He grabbed a carton of milk

22 And he poured a glass

23 Then I smiled and said,

24 "I'll have some of that."

25 We sat there and talked as an hour passed

26 Like old friends

27 Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare

28 It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair

29 He said, "That's my Bonnie, taken 'bout a year after we wed."

30 He said, "Spent five years in the bottle, when the cancer took her from me,

31 But I've been sober three years now

32 'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey

33 Was the sight of her holdin' my baby girl

34 The way she adored that string of pearls

35 I gave her the day that our youngest boy, Earl

36 Married his high school love

37 And it's a new t-shirt saying "I'm a grandpa"

38 And being right there as our time got small

39 And holdin' her hand when the good Lord called her up

40 Yeah man, that's the good stuff

41 He said, "When you get home she'll start to cry,

42 When she says, 'I'm sorry,' say 'So am I'

43 Then look into those eyes so deep in love

44 And drink it up

45 'Cause thats the good stuff

46 That's the good stuff
