Good Hearted Woman (song)

"Good Hearted Woman" is a song written by American country music singers Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.

In 1969, while staying at the Fort Worther Motel in Fort Worth, Texas,[1] Jennings saw an advertisement in a newspaper promoting Tina Turner as a "good hearted woman loving two-timing men", a reference to Ike Turner.

[2] Jennings went to talk to Nelson, who was in a middle of a poker game, about writing a song based on that phrase.

[4] Jennings had recorded a concert version for Waylon Live, which served as a basis for the duet with Nelson.

He also added canned crowd noises to add to the live feel for the album Wanted: The Outlaws!.
