#100 Good Hearted Woman – Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson
There is nothing better than a country song written with an inspirational story. This is exactly what is going on with “Good Hearted Woman.” It was actually at the Fort Worther Motel where the inspiration for this track came. While playing a poker game, Jennings persuaded Nelson to record the song.

Waylon Jennings got this idea when he saw a newspaper article about Tina Turner, where it described her as a “good-hearted woman loving two-timing men,” the thing sounded good in his head. So it was a little brainstorming to get to the full lyrics of the top chart’s song.
