I said the Good Stuff, C D C D He didn't reach around for the whiskey, He didn't pour me a beer, C D His blue eyes kinda went misty, C Said you can't find that here, G D Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date C G Mamma's all worried when you get home late C G And droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate, C G C D Cause your hands are shaking so much G D It's the way she looks with rice in her hair C G Eatin burnt suppers the whole first year C G C G C And askin for seconds, to keep her from tearin up, D G D C G C Yeah man that's the Good Stuff G D He grabbed a carton of milk and poured a glass C G I smiled and said I'll have some of that C G C G C We sat there and talked as an hour passed like ol' friends G D Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare C G Was a pretty girl with bouffant hair C G C G C He said that's my Bonnie, takin bout a year after we wed C D C D He said spent five years in the bottle when the cancer took her from me C D I've been sober for three years now, C G C D Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey was the G D The sight of her holdn my baby girl C G The way she adored that string of pearls C G I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl C G C D Married his high school love G D And it's a new T-shirt sayin I'm a Grand Pa C G Being right there as our time got small C G C G C And holding her hand, when the good lord called her up D G D C G C Yeah man that's the Good Stuff G D C G C D G He said when you get home she'll start to cry D G When she says I'm sorry, say so am I G D C D C And look into those eyes so deep in love D And drink it up G D C G C Cause that's the Good Stuff G D C G C That's the Good Stuff That's all there is to it folks!
