Well my and my lady had our first big fight
So I drove around till I saw a neon light
A corner bar
It just seemed right so I pulled up
Not a soul around except the old bar keep
Down at the end looking half asleep
He walked and asked what’ll be?
I said the good stuff
He didn’t reach around for the whiskey
He didn’t pour me a beer
His blue eyes went kind of misty
And he said you can’t find that here
Cause It’s the first long kiss on a second date
Your mommas all worried cause you’re coming home late
Dropping the ring in the spaghetti plate
Cause your hands are shaking so bad
It’s the way she looks with the rice in her hair
Eating burnt suppers the whole first year
And asking for seconds
To keep her from tearing up
Yeah man that’s the good stuff
He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured him a glass
I smiled and said I’ll have some of that
We sat there and talked as an hour past
Like old friends
I saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare
Was a pretty young girl with bouffant hair
He said that’s my Bonnie
Taken a about year after we wed
He said I Spent 5 years in a bar
When the cancer took her from me
But I’ve been sober for 3 years now
Because the one thing stronger than the whiskey...
Was the sight of her holding my baby girl
The way she adored that string of pearls
I gave her the day our oldest son Earl
Married his high school lover
It’s a new T Shirt saying I’m a Grandpa
Staying write there as our time got small
And holding her hand
When the good lord called
Man that’s the good stuff
When you get home she’ll start to cry
She says I’m sorry say so am I
Look in her eyes so deep in love
Man that’s the good stuff
