Tift Merrit – Good Hearted Man lyrics

Swore that I was living free
Boy you couldn’t talk to me
And the pride that kept me
Didn’t know no company
Early morning subway train
Feeling lost and runnin’ late
Well he held the car
He gave his seat to me

And I can’t find nothin’
Feels so fine as lovin’
A good hearted man
Oh he can sooth me, free me
Oh I’m going to marry that
Good hearted man

I told him that he better go
‘Cause I was crazy and impossible
That my love was broken
My dreams had run all wild
Patient as the easy rain
Oh he never turned away
Callin’ hey sweet woman
You know you’re not a child

And I can’t find nothin’
Feels so fine as lovin’
A good hearted man
Oh he can sooth me, free me
Oh I’m going to marry that
Good hearted man

Good hearted man
Now the night makes sense
Because your tenderness, its shelter in me
So trading in that hard headed 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 aint nothin’
Feels so fine as lovin’
A good hearted man
Oh he can sooth me, free me
Oh I’m going to marry that
Good hearted man

Oh and I’m grateful grateful
Got to say thank you to a good hearted man
