Count Your Blessings
Pat Green

1
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.
4
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.
