Willie Nelson
[Intro]
D   D/A(x12)
[Verse 1]
Well, a Dlong time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the Gway
And the Agood life he promised ain't what she's livin' todayD  
But she Dnever complains of the bad times or bad things he's Gdone, Lord
She just Atalks about the good times they've had and all the good times to comeD  
[Chorus]
She's a Dgood-hearted woman in D7love with a good-timin' Gman
And she Aloves him in spite of his ways that she don't underDstand
DThrough teardrops and laughter they're gonna D7pass through this world hand-in-Ghand
This Agood-hearted woman in love with a good-timin' Dman
[Instrumental]
D   G   A   D(x2)
[Verse 2]
DHe likes the night life, the bright lights, and good-timin' Gfriends
When the Aparty's all over she'll welcome him back home aDgain
Although Dshe don't understand him, she does the best that she Gcan
She's a Agood-hearted woman in love with a good-timin' Dman
[Chorus]
She's a Dgood-hearted woman in D7love with a good-timin' Gman
And she Aloves him in spite of his ways that she don't understandD  
Through Dteardrops and laughter they're gonna D7pass through this world hand-in-handG  
This Agood-hearted woman in love with a good-timin' Dman

The story behind the song

This song came to life when Waylon Jennings saw an advertisement describing Tina Turner as a "good hearted woman loving two-timing men." Inspired by the phrase, Jennings approached Willie Nelson, who was in the middle of a poker game, and together they expanded on the idea, with Nelson's wife writing down the lyrics. It tells the story of a woman whose generous spirit leads her to love a man who may not always deserve her. At its heart, it's a narrative about devotion and the complexities of relationships.
