Lyrics:
Good Hearted Woman [Live version (a)]:
[From November 23 2002 duet]
She's a good hearted woman lovin' a good-timin' man
She loves him in spite of his wicked ways she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter, they'll pass through this world hand-in-hand
A good hearted woman lovin' a good-timin' man
[From November 23 2002 duet]
She's a good hearted woman lovin' a good-timin' man
She loves him in spite of his wicked ways she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter, they'll pass through this world hand-in-hand
A good hearted woman lovin' a good-timin' man
The Song:
Beck and Wayne from the Flaming Lips duetted on this country ode to the women who love them and turn a blind eye to their wicked ways. They did just a verse of it at the KCRW benefit concert on November 23 2002. (They also covered "I Got You Babe" together that night.) This song was originally written by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, both of whom Beck has covered or worked with before (Waylon & Willie).

After the November 23 KCRW benefit, Beck and Wayne continued to throw a duet verse out on their own concerts. It always came as part of their spiel about "what duet should we do?" which has them mess around on "I Got You Babe" and then "Good Hearted Woman." However, Beck and Wayne aren't as outlaw as Waylon and Willie, so they do "Who Loves the Sun?" instead.

Notes:
- Beck has covered three Waylon Jennings songs over the years, "Aphid Manure Heist," "Good Ol' Boys," and "Good Hearted Woman."
- [From a Jennings/Nelson duet]
A long-time forgotten, the dreams that dispel by the way
The good life he promised ain't what she's living today
But she never complains about the bad times or 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 timing man
She loves him in spite of his ways she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter, they pass through this world hand-in-hand
A good hearted woman loving a good timing man
He likes the bright lights and night life and good time friends
And the party's all over, she'll welcome him back home again
Love, no she don't understand him, but she does the best she can
That's a good hearted woman loving a good timing man
She's a good hearted woman in love with a good timing man
She loves me in spite of my wicked ways she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter, they pass through this world hand-in-hand
A good hearted woman loving a good timing man
