Mama always said stand up to the truth There ain’t no such thing as the fountain of youth Two wrongs never made it right Grass ain’t always greener on the other side Better save your money for a rainy day Count your blessings come as they may
Only Will Rogers never met a man he didn’t like Always throw the first punch when it comes to a fight It ain’t over till it’s over and the fat lady sings Only quitters and losers throw the towel in the ring Well I hope you ain’t working on a rainy day Count your blessings come as they may
It’s a hush my mouth land sakes alive I don’t believe that fishermen smell the same when they die Never put the cart before the horse Unless he knows how to push it of course Seems like I’m always dreaming on a rainy day Count your blessings come as they may
And it was grandpa who said son you can’t buy love You can jump in with both feet, but don’t jump the gun Stay out of trouble count your lucky stars Never get drunk in two states inside the same day Seems like I’m always drinking on a rainy day
Count your blessings come as they may
Grandma who said silence is golden You only answer to one he’s the almighty beholder Bird in the hand is better than two in the nest Don’t count your chickens before they hatch Always save the loving for a rainy day Count your blessings come as they may
It’s a hush my mouth land sakes alive I don’t believe that fishermen smell the same when they die Never put the cart before the horse Unless he knows how to push it of course Seems like I’m always dreaming on a rainy day Count your blessings come as they may
Talk being cheap well I took their advice And the older I get the more I know they were right Works for me may not work for you Everything I said was the goddang truth Well I hope you ain’t lonely on a rainy day Count your blessings come as they may
And they’re etched in my mind I can never forget ‘em
