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
