The Good Stuff Lyrics
Well me and my lady had our first big fight,
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights,
At a corner bar, and it just seemed right, so I pulled up,
Not a soul around but the ol' barkeep,
Down at the end lookin half asleep,
But he walked up and said what'll it be? 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
This song means "Don't take advantage of the things that you have right now." And the good stuff isn't always there.
I adore this song so much. Don't take for granted what you have because someday it may be gone. When I get married, I want it to be exactly like this, if being that perfect is possible.
When I hear this song, I think of riding in an old pick up truck with a guy who I was so in love with and his best friend and those two young men just singing their hearts out. It's a song that every generation can appreciate. The young generation is looking forward to all of "the good stuff" and the older generations are glad they've lived it.
I LOVE KENNY CHESNEY AND THIS SONG ROX!!
I love this song- it's so real and true. It makes me appreciate the important things in life! GO KENNY!!
well, I used to hate country and everything about it...but come on, who doesn't like to kick back with some beer listening to kenny chesney? especially this song! one of my friends plays it on guitar when we're all drinkin...its a great song..and i've learned to love it. I think its just about concentrating on the little things in life, and the bartender is telling kenny chesney about how he lost his wife...
wow... such hate... shakes head in disgust this song is beautiful.
THANKS.ANYWAYS,i love this song and its about not taking things for granted and stuff like that.I love Kenny.<p><b><i>Edited by Matty on December 6 2005, at 05:44AM</i></b></p>
anways..this song is about how kenny got into a fight w/ his chick..and goes to a bar to blow off some steam...then the bar tender tells him that he needs to apologize to his g/f, and not end up like he did becoming an alcoholic and not getting to really be with her kuz the good stuff is actually being there with her...and inlove
