Flatt And Scruggs - 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...
