Introduction
Hey there! Let me tell you about a song that’s been a comforting companion to me on many a late night drive or lazy Sunday afternoon. It’s called “Good Hearted Woman,” performed by two absolute legends of country music, George Strait and Willie Nelson. Just thinking about it makes me want to pour a cup of coffee and settle in for a good chat.
This song is a beautiful testament to the kind of love that stands the test of time—flawed, yet unwavering. It paints the picture of a woman who loves deeply and steadfastly, even when her partner’s life is a bit of a wild ride. There’s something so relatable about that, isn’t there? We all know someone who’s been there, or maybe we’ve been that person ourselves.
The magic of “Good Hearted Woman” lies in its storytelling. George and Willie bring such authenticity to the lyrics, you can almost feel the warmth of the woman’s love radiating through their voices. It’s as if they’re sharing tales from a time when they might have lived these stories themselves. And honestly, who better to convey the ups and downs of love than these two?
Originally penned by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings back in the early ’70s, this song has a rich history. It’s been a staple in the country music scene, and its message is timeless. When George Strait teamed up with Willie for this rendition, they breathed new life into it, blending their unique styles into something that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
What I love most about this song is its ability to evoke a range of emotions. It makes you reflect on the people in your life who’ve stood by you through thick and thin. Have you ever thought about what it takes to be or to have a “good hearted woman” in your corner? It’s a powerful reminder of how love can be both simple and complex, messy yet beautiful.
So, next time you’re in the mood for some heartfelt music, give “Good Hearted Woman” a listen. Let it wrap around you like a warm hug from a dear friend. And who knows, it might just inspire you to appreciate the good-hearted souls in your life a little more.

Lyrics
A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised is not what she’s living today
But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he’s done
She just talks about the good times they’ve had and all the good times to come
She’s a good hearted woman in love with a good timin’ man
And she loves him in spite of his ways that she don’t understand
And through teardrops and laughter
They’ll pass though this world hand in hand
This good hearted woman in love with her good timin’ man
Well, now he likes the night life, the bright lights and good timin’ friends
And when the party’s all over she’ll welcome him back home again
Though she don’t understand him but she does the best that she can
Now this good hearted woman in love with her good timin’ man
She’s a good hearted woman in love with a good timin’ man
And she loves him in spite of his ways that she don’t understand
And through teardrops and laughter
They’ll pass though this world hand in hand
This good hearted woman in love with her good timin’ man
She’s a good hearted woman in love with a good timin’ man
And she loves him in spite of his ways that she don’t understand
