Flatt & Scruggs The Good Times Outweigh The Bad Lyrics

1. Ive been settin here thinkin back over my life
All of the good things the trouble and strife
Well my share of worries yet so many Ive had
But I still think the good things outweigh the bad

Cho: Well Ive rocked my babies at night when they cried
Ive seen the teardrops turn into smiles
And thats when I realized all the bad luck Ive had
But I still think the good things outweigh the bad

2. Well I never had riches no money to spare Just a sharecroppers wages is my only fare
Yes makin my livin just workin the land
But I know all the good things outweigh the bad

Repeat Cho:

Play

3. Yes Ive worked the cotton in the heat of the day
And then paid the landlord nearly all that I had
Well Ive seen high water take all that I had
But I know all the good things outweigh the bad

Repeat cho:

End
