Good Things (outweight The Bad) Lyrics

I've been sittin' here thinkin' back over my life



All of the good things the trouble and strife



Well my share of heartache yes so many I've had



But I still think the good things outweight the bad



Well I broke my babies at night when they cry



I've seen the teardrops turning to smiles



And askin' if real life all the bad luck I've had



And I know all the good things outweight the bad







Well I never have britches no money to spare



Just a sharecropper's wages is my only fare



Yes makin' my livin' just working the land



But I still think the good things outweight the bad



Well I broke my babies...



[ banjo ]



Yes I outwork the catton in the heat of the day



And then pay the landlord nearly all that I may



Well I've seen how water take all that I had



But I still think the good things outweight the bad



Well I broke my babies...
