Story Behind The Song
After being married for more than 40 years I came to the conclusion that a man just needs One Good Woman.
Song Description
"One Good Woman" is the newest blues-rock release from Buck69, written by Tom Clawson and performed with the band's signature mix of grit, heart, and highway-worn honesty.
This track tells the story of a man who's been beaten up by the road, worn down by empty promises, and stripped of everything except a restless heart still searching for something real. Through smoky vocals, a slow-burning groove, and lyrics that cut straight to the bone, he lays it out plain: sometimes all it takes is one good woman to steady your soul and take the blues away.
With imagery of neon nights, crooked smiles, gravel-voiced laughter, and the kind of love that teaches a tired soul to breathe again, "One Good Woman" blends blues, rock, and raw emotion into a song that feels lived-in and true.

Lyrics
One Good Woman by Tom Clawson
Ain't got one good woman Lord ain't got a dime to show
Nothing but empty promises and worn out from the road
Now, I'm no silver-screen savior, got no halo on my name
Just a restless heart no cigarettes and tired of the game
I need a steady look, not just a passing glance
Need two arms to hold me when the night begins to dance
I need one good woman, one good night
One good woman to get me right
One good cry, one good smile to stay
One good woman
To take my blues away
She ain't gotta' be a movie queen, no diamonds on her sleeve
Just a crooked smile that tells the truth a heart that won't deceive
Brings that slow-burning fire, brings that honest flame
When she wakes me in the morning, she remembers my name
I need one good woman, one good night
One good woman to get me right
One good cry, one good smile to stay
One good woman
To take my blues away
A woman to take me away to where the neon bleeds
Show me how to love again, teach this tired old soul to breathe
She'll need that gravel in her voice and a laugh like rain
And when she leans into me, she'll wash away my pain
I need one good woman, one good night
One good woman, to get me right.
One good cry, one good smile to stay
One good woman
To take my blues away
I need one good woman, one good night
One good woman, to get me right.
One good woman, one good night
One good woman, to get me right.
I need one good woman, one good night
One good woman, to get me right.
One good cry, one good smile to stay
One good woman
To take my blues away
