Waylon Jennings – Good Hearted Woman
From the counter

Waylon cut it first, but Willie Nelson is on the credit too, and the song kept turning up: the two of them together, The Highwaymen, even Tina Turner. Follow Willie and you'll find this tune was only one of the doors he left open.

Waylon split the credit on this one with Willie, and the song carried far enough that George Jones and even Tina Turner recorded it later. Hear Waylon's first, then let his co-writer take a turn.
