Born to poor sharecroppers, one of eleven children in Sledge, Mississippi, Pride is a timeless everyman, revered by his musical peers and adored by countless millions of fans around the globe. Charley Pride unofficially started his music career in the late 1950s as a ballplayer with the Negro American Leagueâ€™s Memphis Red Sox singing and playing guitar on the team bus between ballparks. Self-taught on a guitar bought at the age 14 from Sears Roebuck, Pride would join various bands' onstage as he and the team roved the country. After a tryout with the New York Mets, Pride decided to return to his Montana home via Nashville. It was there he met Jack Johnson, who upon hearing the singer perform, sent him on his way with the promise of a management contract and a newly forged relationship that would last for over a decade.

A Good Hearted Woman Lyrics

Charley Pride

A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised ain't what she's living today
But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he's done Lord
She just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come
Cause she's a good hearted woman in love with a good timin' man
And she loves him in spite of his ways that she don't understand
Well now through teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand Lord
Cause she's a good hearted woman loving her good timin' man

He likes the night life the bright lights and good timin' friends
And when the party's over she'll welcome him back home again
Lord knows she don't understand him but she does the best that she can
Cause she's a good hearted woman she loves her good timin' man
Yes she's a good hearted woman...
Yes she's a good hearted woman she loves her good timin' man
