Well, (G)me and my la dy had our (D)first big fight, so I (Em)drove a round till I saw the (G)ne on lights of a (C)cor ner bar and it (G)just seemed right, so I (Am7)pulled up. Not a (G)soul a round but the old bar keep down at the end and look in’ (G)half a sleep. But (C)he walked up and said, (G)“What ’ll it be?” I said, “The (Am7)good stuff.” He (C)did n’t reach a round for the (Dsus)whis key, he (C)did n’t pour me a beer. His (C)blue eyes kind a went (Dsus)mist y, he said, (Em)“You can’t find that here. (D)’Cause it’s the (G)first long kiss on a (D)sec ond date, (Em)ma ma’s all wor ried when you (G7)get home late and drop pin’ the ring in the spa (G)ghet ti plate ’cause your (Am7)hands are shak in’ so (C)much. And it’s the (G)way that she looks with the rice in her hair and (Em)eat in’ burnt sup pers the whole first year and ask in’ for sec onds to (G)keep her from tear in’ (Am7)up. Yeah, (D)man, that’s the (G)good stuff.” He grabbed a (G)car ton of milk and he poured a glass. And I smiled and said, “I’ll (G)have some of that.” We (C)sat there and talked as an (G)hour passed like old friends. I saw a (G)black and white pic ture and he (D)caught my stare. It was a pret ty girl with bouf fant hair. He said, “That’s my Bon nie, (G)tak en ’bout a year af ter we wed.” He said, “I (C)spent five years in the (Dsus)bot tle when the (C)can cer took her from me. But (C)I’ve been so ber three years now ’cause the (Am7)one thing strong er than the (C)whis key was the (G)sight of her hold in’ my (D)ba by girl, the (Em)way she a dored that string of pearls I gave her the day that our young est boy Earl (Am7)mar ried his high school love. And it’s a (G)new T shirt say in’ I’m a grand pa, (Em)be in’ right there as our time got small and hold in’ her hand when the (G)good Lord called her up. Yeah, (D)man, that’s the (G)good stuff.” He said, “When (D)you get home, she’ll start to cry. When she (D)says, ‘I’m sor ry,’ say, (G)‘So am I.’ And look in to those eyes so deep in love and drink it (D)up ’cause that’s the (G)good stuff, that’s the (G)good stuff.”
