Mother was just twenty-one
All alone with a son of a gun she'd roam
Spend some nights sleepin' in our car
Cheap hotels and seedy bars
As it came to pass, so was my road
A good-hearted woman with a heart of gold
That always understands
That good-hearted woman was makin' life the best way she can
Granddaddy said when I was nine
"Boy, I raised you on that Southern pride and soul"
Taught me how to fish and how to fight
When I was wrong and what was right
But the greatest story that he ever told
Was of a good-hearted woman with a heart of gold
That always understands
That good-hearted woman is makin' life the best way she can
Aw, yeah
Pretty wives and fancy cars
I paid some dues and got my scars to say
There ain't a thing that I regret
And I hope to laugh at all of this
When I'm sittin' on my front porch old and gray
Aw, yeah
With my good-hearted woman with a heart of gold
That always understands
That good-hearted woman is makin' life the best way she can
That good-hearted woman sure loves a hard-headed man
