The Good Stuff (好东西) - The Mick Lloyd Connection

Well me an my lady had our first big fight

So I drove around til I saw the neon light

A corner bar an it just seemed right

So I pulled up

Not a soul around but the old bar keep

Down at the end an looking half asleep

An he walked up an said whatll it be

I said the good stuff

He didnt reach around for the whiskey

He didnt pour me a beer

His blue eyes kinda went misty

He said you can't find that here

Cos its the first long kiss on a second date

Mommas all worried when you get home late

And droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate

Cos your hands are shakin so much

An its the way that she looks with the rice in her hair

Beatin bug suppers the whole first year

An askin for seconds to keep her from tearin up

Yeah man thats the good stuff

He grabbed a carton of milk an her poured a glass

An I smiled an said Ill have some of that

We sat there an talked as an hour passed

Like old friends

I saw a black an white picture an it caught my stare

It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair

He said thats my bonnie

Taken bout a year after we were wed

He said smitten by views in the bars

When the cancer took her from me

But I've been sober three years now

Cos the one thing stronger than the whiskey

Was the sight of her holdin 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

An its a new tee-shirt saying I'm a grandpa

Bein right there as our time got small

An holdin her hand when the good lord called her up

Yeah man thats the good stuff

He said when you get home shell start to cry

When she says I'm sorry say so am i

An look into those eyes so deep in love

An drink it up

Cos thats the good stuff

Thats the good stuff
