歌词
Well, me an my lady had our first big fight,
我和我妻子第一次大吵架
So I drove around til I saw the neon light.
我出门开车直到看到了霓虹灯
一个街角酒吧，正好在那里
A corner bar, an it just seemed right.
我把车停在那里，进门
So I pulled up.
空无一人，除了守夜者
在角落里昏昏欲睡
Not a soul around but the old bar keep,
他朝我走来，说要点什么？
Down at the end an looking half asleep.
我说来点好东西
他没有去拿威士忌
An he walked up, an said whatll it be?
也没有帮倒啤酒
I said the good stuff.
他的蓝眼睛有点湿润了
他说，这里没有那个
He didnt reach around for the whiskey
（好东西）是第二次约会时的初吻
是你夜晚不回家时妈妈焦急的等待
He didnt pour me a beer.
是把求婚戒指掉在餐盘里
因为你太紧张手抖个不停
His blue eyes kinda went misty,
是她（你爱人）为你做饭时灰头土脸的样子
是第一年强忍着吃她做的饭
He said you cant find that here.
为了让她不哭，再来一份
兄弟，这才是好东西
cos its the first long kiss on a second date.
他拿了一盒牛奶，倒了一杯
我笑着对他说，也给我一杯
Mommas all worried when you get home late.
我们在那里坐了很久
And droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate,
像老朋友一样聊天
墙上一张黑白照片引起了我的注意
cos your hands are shakin so much.
一个蓬松头发的漂亮女孩
他说这是我的Bonnie
An its the way that she looks with the rice in her hair.
在我们结婚一年后拍的
Beatin bug suppers, the whole first year,
这句歌词错了（He said spend 5 years in the bar）， 在酒吧里干了五年时
An askin for seconds to keep her from tearin up.
癌症把她抢走
Yeah, man, thats the good stuff.
我已经戒酒三年了
因为比威士忌更好的东西
He grabbed a carton of milk an her poured a glass.
是看着她抱着我们的宝贝女儿
她看着那串珍珠项链的目光
An I smiled an said Ill have some of that.
那串我们小儿子Earl出生那天我送给她的项链
Earl娶了他的高中青梅
We sat there an talked as an hour passed,
我穿着一件写着我是外公的新T恤
在她快离去时陪着她
Like old friends.
在上帝把她叫走时握着她的手
这才是好东西
I saw a black an white picture an it caught my stare,
他说，当你回家时，她会大哭
It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair.
当她说对不起的时候，说我也是
看着那双充满爱意的眼睛
He said thats my bonnie,
深深地看着
因为这才是好东西
Taken bout a year after we were wed.
这才是好东西
He said spend 5 years in the bar
When the cancer took her from me.
But Ive 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 Im 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 Im 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.
