Good Things (outweight The Bad)

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...
