Good Things (outweight The Bad) Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

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 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 makin' my livin' just working the land 

But I still think the good things outweigh the bad 

Well I've rocked my babies... 

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...
