Good Hearted Man - Tift Merritt

I swore that I was living free

Oh, you couldn’t talk to me

And the pride that kept me, didn’t want no company

Early morning subway train

Feeling lost and running late

Well, he held the car, he gave his seat to me

And I can’t find nothing feels so fine as loving

A good hearted man

Oh he can soothe me, free me, oh I’m gonna marry

That good hearted man

I told him that he’d better go

'Cause I was crazy and impossible

That my love was broken, my dreams had run off wild

Patient as the easy rain

Oh he never turned away

Calling, «Hey sweet woman, you know you’re not a child.»

And I can’t find nothing feels so fine as loving

A good hearted man

Oh he can soothe me, free me, oh I’m gonna marry

That good hearted man

Good hearted man, now the night makes sense

Because your tenderness is sheltering me

So I’m trading in that hothead kid

For a woman I can give to him

And it ain’t easy, but I’m gonna do the best I can

For that good hearted man

You know there just ain’t nothing feels so fine as loving

A good hearted man

Oh he can soothe me, free me, oh I’m gonna marry

That good hearted man

Oh and I’m grateful, grateful, got to say thank you

To a good hearted man
