All of the good things the trouble and strife
Well my share of heartaches, yes so many I've had

And that's when I realize all the bad luck I've had

Just a share cropper’s wages is my only fare
Yes making my living, just working the land
But I still think the good things outweigh the bad

Well, I've seen high water take all that I had
But I still think the good things outweigh the bad
