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...

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...
As Coisas Boas Superam as Ruins
Fiquei aqui pensando na minha vida
Todas as coisas boas, os problemas e a dor
Sim, já passei por muito desgosto, tantos já tive
Mas ainda acho que as coisas boas superam as ruins
Bem, eu quebrei a cabeça à noite quando eles choram
Vi as lágrimas se transformando em sorrisos
E perguntando se a vida real é toda essa má sorte que eu tive
E eu sei que as coisas boas superam as ruins
Bem, eu nunca tive calças, nem dinheiro sobrando
Só o salário de um meeiro é o que eu ganho
Sim, ganhando a vida só trabalhando a terra
Mas ainda acho que as coisas boas superam as ruins
Bem, eu quebrei a cabeça...

Sim, eu trabalho mais que o gato no calor do dia
E então pago o senhorio quase tudo que eu ganho
Bem, eu vi como a água levou tudo que eu tinha
Mas ainda acho que as coisas boas superam as ruins
Bem, eu quebrei a cabeça...
