| [00:11.72] |
Well, me an my lady had our first big fight, |
| [00:15.03] |
So I drove around til I saw the neon light. |
| [00:17.77] |
|
| [00:18.64] |
A corner bar, an it just seemed right. |
| [00:21.64] |
So I pulled up. |
| [00:22.89] |
|
| [00:24.82] |
Not a soul around but the old bar keep, |
| [00:28.44] |
Down at the end an looking half asleep. |
| [00:31.12] |
|
| [00:31.87] |
An he walked up, an said whatll it be? |
| [00:34.81] |
I said the good stuff. |
| [00:36.43] |
|
| [00:38.48] |
He didnt reach around for the whiskey |
| [00:40.79] |
|
| [00:41.86] |
He didnt pour me a beer. |
| [00:43.60] |
|
| [00:45.35] |
His blue eyes kinda went misty, |
| [00:47.10] |
|
| [00:48.16] |
He said you cant find that here. |
| [00:50.09] |
|
| [00:51.65] |
cos its the first long kiss on a second date. |
| [00:54.21] |
|
| [00:55.33] |
Mommas all worried when you get home late. |
| [00:58.64] |
And droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate, |
| [01:00.96] |
|
| [01:01.57] |
cos your hands are shakin so much. |
| [01:03.63] |
|
| [01:04.57] |
An its the way that she looks with the rice in her hair. |
| [01:08.56] |
Beatin bug suppers, the whole first year, |
| [01:12.06] |
An askin for seconds to keep her from tearin up. |
| [01:16.24] |
Yeah, man, thats the good stuff. |
| [01:22.73] |
|
| [01:24.91] |
He grabbed a carton of milk an her poured a glass. |
| [01:28.16] |
|
| [01:29.09] |
An I smiled an said Ill have some of that. |
| [01:31.41] |
|
| [01:32.09] |
We sat there an talked as an hour passed, |
| [01:34.33] |
|
| [01:35.02] |
Like old friends. |
| [01:36.58] |
|
| [01:38.27] |
I saw a black an white picture an it caught my stare, |
| [01:41.82] |
It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair. |
| [01:44.69] |
|
| [01:45.51] |
He said thats my bonnie, |
| [01:46.63] |
|
| [01:47.25] |
Taken bout a year after we were wed. |
| [01:49.12] |
|
| [01:51.62] |
He said spend 5 years in the bar |
| [01:53.86] |
|
| [01:55.05] |
When the cancer took her from me. |
| [01:57.30] |
|
| [01:58.73] |
But Ive been sober three years now, |
| [02:01.17] |
|
| [02:01.73] |
cos the one thing stronger than the whiskey |
| [02:04.16] |
|
| [02:05.16] |
Was the sight of her holdin my baby girl. |
| [02:07.59] |
|
| [02:08.78] |
The way she adored that string of pearls, |
| [02:11.96] |
I gave her the day that our youngest boy, earl, |
| [02:15.71] |
Married his high school love. |
| [02:17.39] |
|
| [02:18.33] |
An its a new tee-shirt saying Im a grandpa. |
| [02:21.20] |
|
| [02:22.14] |
Bein right there as our time got small, |
| [02:25.50] |
An holdin her hand, when the good lord called her up, |
| [02:30.05] |
|
| [02:31.12] |
Yeah, man, thats the good stuff. |
| [02:36.73] |
|
| [02:45.28] |
He said when you get home, shell start to cry. |
| [02:48.65] |
When she says Im sorry, say so am i. |
| [02:51.21] |
|
| [02:52.21] |
An look into those eyes, so deep in love, |
| [02:56.69] |
|
| [02:58.26] |
An drink it up. |
| [03:00.26] |
|
| [03:02.00] |
cos thats the good stuff. |
| [03:06.06] |
|
| [03:08.49] |
Thats the good stuff. |
