SOL RE
Well me and my lady had our first big fight
MI SOL
so Idrove around till I saw the neon light
DO SOL LAm
at a corner bar just seemed right so I pulled up
SOL RE
not a soul around but the old bar keep
MI SOL
down at the end and looking half asleep
DO SOL
but he walked up and said what'l it be
LAm
I said the good stuff
DO SOL
he didnt reach around for the whiskey
DO SOL
he didnt pour me a beer
DO SOL
his blue eyes kinda went misty
MI RE
he said you cant find that here
(Chorus)
SOL RE
It's the first long kiss on the second date
MI SOL
and mama's all worried when you get home late
DO SOL
and dropin' the ring in the spagetti plate
DO RE
cuz your hands are shakin' so much
SOL RE
and its the way that she looks with her eye's and her hair
MI SOL
eatin' burnt suppers the whole first year
DO SOL LAm
and askin for seconds to keep her from tearin' up
RE SOL
yeah man thats the good stuff
He grabbed a carton a milk and he poured a glass
I smiled and said ill have some a that
we sat there and talked as an hour passed like old friend
saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare
it was a pretty girl blue fond hair
he said thats my bonnie taken bout a year after we wed
He said I spent five years in the bottle
when the cancer took her from me
I've been sober three years now
and the one thing stronger than the whiskey
was the sight of her holdin my baby girl
the way she adored that string a pearls
I gave her the day that out youngest boy earl
married his high school love
and it's a new t-shirt sayin' I'm a grandpa
and being right there as the time got small
and holdin' her hand when the good lord called her up
yeah man thats the good stuff
it's the good stuff
