Content
The narrator states to his significant other that while he may be a "bad boy", he is a "real good man".
Critical reception
Rick Cohoon of Allmusic reviewed the song favorably, saying that the song "offers a unique melody." Cohoon goes on to say that McGraw can "party with the best of 'em" but also "touts his softer side complete with soft-as-velvet hands and a patriotic spirit."[2]
Music video
The music video, directed by Sherman Halsey, was filmed live in concert, and was released as a double-song video with "The Ride," a cover of the David Allen Coe hit. The latter song does not appear on any of McGraw's albums or compilations. A special promotional single of this double-song performance was sent to radio stations. While the live version of "Real Good Man" did eventually appear on McGraw's Greatest Hits 3 CD, it did not contain "The Ride."

"Real Good Man" debuted at number 60 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the chart week of May 17, 2003.
