Story Behind The Song
After 9/11, I realized how many women were missing their husbands and the soldiers going away to fight would have families at home; wives holding down the families, and all they would miss with their husbands away.
Song Description
Woman remarks about the wonders of the husband she has. He sees she's tired after running around with kids all day...helps with dishes. Puts the kids to bed, they say their prayers. When she tells him how happy she is, he remarks on the luck he had in finding her.

Lyrics
ONE GOOD MAN
He says you look a bit tired
Running with the kids all day
Sit down and put your feet up
I'll put those dishes away
Some say I'm lucky
But there was a plan
For this woman
One good man
One good man who leaves the light on
Makes me laugh through all my tears
One good man I can count on
Through days and months and years
Part of all I am
This one good man
He tucks the kids in bed
I hear them say their prayers
He hums our favorite song
As he comes down the stairs
Some say I'm lucky
But there was a plan
For this woman
One good man
CHORUS
One day I told him,
"I'm so happy I could cry."
He said, "You got it wrong darlin'.
I'm the one who's blessed
To have you in my life."
