Well, [G]me and my lady had our [D/F#]first big fight,
So I [Em]drove around 'til I saw the [G/B]neon lights
Of a [Cadd9]corner bar, and it [G/B]just seemed right
So I [Am]pulled up [Asus2] [Am]
Not a [G]soul around but the [D/F#]old barkeep,
[Em]Down at the end and looking [G/B]half asleep
But [Cadd9]he walked up and said "[G/B]What'll it be"?
I said "The [Am]good stuff" [G]
He [C]didn't reach around for the [D]whiskey,
He [C]didn't pour me a [D]beer.
His [C]blue eyes kinda went [D]misty,
He said "[Em]You can't find that here [D/F#]
CHORUS #1:
'Cause it's the [G]first long kiss on a [D/F#]second date,
[Em]Momma's all worried when you [G7]get home late.
And [C]droppin' the ring in the spa[G/B]ghetti plate,
'Cause your [Am]hands are [G/B]shakin' so [C]much [D]
And it's the [G]way that she looks with the [D/F#]rice in her hair,
[Em]Eatin' burnt suppers the [G7]whole first year,
And [C]askin' for seconds to [G/B]keep her from tear[Am]in' [G/B]up [C]
Yeah [D]man, that's the [G]good stuff"[D/F#] [Cadd9]
He grabbed a [G]carton of milk and he [D/F#]poured a glass,
[Em] And I smiled and said "I'll [G/B]have some of that".
We [Cadd9]sat there and talked as an [G/B]hour passed like [Am]old friends
Saw a [G]black and white picture and he [D/F#]caught my stare,
It was a [Em]pretty girl with [G/B]boufant hair,
He said "[Cadd9]That's my Bonnie, [G/B]taken about a year after [Am]we wed" [G/B]
He said "I [C]spent five years in the [D]bottle
When the [C]cancer took her from [D]me
But [C]I've been sober [D]three years now,
'Cause the [Am]one thing [G/B]stronger than the [C]whiskey[D]
CHORUS #2:
Was the [G]sight of her holdin' my [D/F#]baby girl.
The [Em]way she adored that [G7]string of pearls
I [C]gave her the day that our [G/B]youngest boy Earl
[Am]Married his [G/B]high school [C]love [D]
And it's a [G]new t-shirt sayin' [D/F#]I'm a Grandpa,
[Em]Bein' right there as our [G7]time got small,
And [C]holdin' her hand when the [G/B]Good Lord [Am]called her up [G/B] [C]
Yeah [D]man, that's the [G]good stuff[D/F#] [C]
INSTRUMENTAL: [G] [D/F#] [Cadd9]
He said when [D]you get [D/F#]home she'll [G]start to cry,
When she [D]says "I'm [D/F#]sorry", say: "[G]So am I".
And look in[D/F#]to those [Em]eyes so [G/B]deep in [Cadd9]love...
And drink it [D]up.
'Cause that's the [G]good stuff[D/F#] [Cadd9]
That's the [G]good stuff[D/F#] [Cadd9]
