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