The Good Things Out Weigh the Bad✓

I've been sitting here thinking 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 outweigh the bad

Well I've rocked my babies at night when they cried

I've seen the teardrops turn into smiles

And that's when I realize all the bad luck I've had

And I know all the good things outweigh the bad

Well I never have riches no money to spare

Just a sharecropper's wages is my only fare

Yes making my living just working the land

But I still think the good things outweigh the bad

Well I've rocked my babies at night when they cried

I've seen the teardrops turn into smiles

And that's when I realize all the bad luck I've had

And I know all the good things outweigh the bad

Yes I've worked the cotton in the heat of the day

And then paid the landlord nearly all that I made

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

But I still think the good things outweigh the bad

Well I've rocked my babies at night when they cried

I've seen the teardrops turn into smiles

And that's when I realize all the bad luck I've had

And I know all the good things outweigh the bad
