Good Hearted Woman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A long time forgotten
Are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised
Ain't what she's living today
But she never complains
Of the bad times or the bad things he's done, Lord
She just talks about the good times they've had, baby
And all the good times to come

[Chorus]
For she's a good-hearted woman
In love with a good-timing man
(Good-hearted woman, good-hearted woman)
And she loves him in spite of his wicked ways
That she don't understand
(Loves a good-timing man, she loves a good-timing man)
Her teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand
A good-hearted woman
Lovin' a good-timing man
(Good-hearted woman, good-hearted woman)

[Verse 2]
He likes the night life
Bright lights and good-timing friends
And when the party's all over
She welcomes him back home again
Lord knows she don't understand him
But she does the best that she can
For she's a good-hearted woman
Loving a good-timing man
(Good-hearted woman, good-hearted woman)
[Chorus]
She's a good-hearted woman
In love with a good-timing man
(Good-hearted woman, good-hearted woman)
She loves him in spite of his wicked ways
That she don't understand
(Loves a good-timing man, she loves a good-timing man)
Her teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand, Lord
Good-hearted woman
Lovin' a good-timing man
(Good-hearted woman, good-hearted woman)
Oh, she's a good-hearted woman (Good-hearted woman)
Lovin' a, a good-timing man (Good-hearted woman)
(Loves a good-timing man, loves a good-timing man)
And she loves him in spite of his ways (Good-hearted woman)
That she don't understand (Good-hearted woman)
(Loves a good-timing man, she loves a good-timing man)
And her teardrops and laughter (Good-hearted woman)
They'll pass through this world hand in hand, Lord (Good-hearted woman)
(Loves a good-timing man, she loves a good-timing man)
She's a good-hearted woman (Good-hearted woman)
But she loves a good-timing man, oh yeah (Good-hearted woman)
(Loves a good-timing man, she loves a good-timing man)
