Damn Good Woman (Live from Tootsie's Orchid Lounge)
[Soft Acoustic Guitar / Low Crowd Chatter] [Colt] Alright... I wanna dedicate this next one. To every good woman in this room... Who's ever put up with a man... That probably didn't deserve half the patience she gave him. [Women Cheer / Crowd Laughs] Yeah... I hear y'all. [Colt laughs] And fellas... If you got a good one standin' next to you tonight... Maybe quit actin' like an idiot for about four minutes... And hold onto her. [Crowd Laughs / Applause] This is Damn Good Woman. [Acoustic Guitar Begins] [Verse 1] She don't need no diamonds Don't care for the shine Just a backroad sunset And a bottle of wine She's got a heart like the river Wild and free And Lord knows... She's way too good for me. [Pedal Steel Enters] [Pre-Chorus] She's the first call When the world goes wrong The last one dancin'... When they play our song. [Chorus] She's a damn good woman Ain't no doubt Got a fire in her soul And a heart full of sound She's whiskey smooth But a little bit wild Soft as the rain... But tough as the miles Yeah, I don't know what I did... Or how... But I thank God every night... That she sticks around. [Pedal Steel Fill / Warm Applause] [Verse 2] She ain't scared of dirt roads Loves a four-wheel drive Looks like a dream In the dashboard light Ain't about the money Don't need the fame She's got her own fire... Don't play no games. [Fiddle Softly Enters] [Pre-Chorus] She's the first call When the world goes wrong And she's still there dancin'... When everybody else is gone. [Chorus] She's a damn good woman Ain't no doubt Got a fire in her soul And a heart full of sound She's whiskey smooth But a little bit wild Soft as the rain... But tough as the miles Yeah, I don't know what I did... Or how... But I thank God every night... That she sticks around. [Instrumental — Fiddle / Pedal Steel] [Band Slowly Drops Out] [Bridge — Colt & Guitar Only] She's the sunrise... After a long dark road The safe place... I can always go When I'm hard to love... She loves me still When I lose my way... She knows me well. [Pause] And all those things... I thought I needed back then... Don't mean a damn thing... When she's holdin' my hand. [Quiet Crowd Reaction] [Colt — softly] Yeah... I'm a lucky man. [Band Slowly Returns] [Final Chorus] She's a damn good woman Ain't no doubt Got a fire in her soul And a heart full of sound She's whiskey smooth But a little bit wild Soft as the rain... But tough as the miles And I still don't know what I did... Or how... But I thank God every night... [Voice Roughens] Every damn night... That she sticks around. [Pedal Steel Swells / Band Drops Away] [Outro — Guitar Only] She sticks around... Through the good... Through the bad... Through all my bullshit... [Crowd Laughs Softly] Yeah... Somehow... She sticks around. [Pause] And I got me... A damn... Good woman now. [Soft Final Chord / Pedal Steel Lingers] [Brief Silence] [Crowd Applause / Whistles] [Colt] If you got one... Make damn sure she knows it. [Crowd Cheers]
