My mama always said, "Stand up to the truth.
There ain't no such thing as the fountain of youth.
Two wrongs never made it a right.
The 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 til it's over and the fat lady sings.
Only quitters who lose throw their towel in the ring.
Well, I hope ya ain't workin' on a rainy day.
Count your blessings, come as they may.
And it's a 'hush my mouth, landsakes alive'.
I don't believe that fishermen smell the same when they die.
Never put your cart before the horse,
Unless it knows how to push another horse.
Seems like I'm always dreamin' 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 outta trouble. Count your lucky stars.
Never get drunk in two states inside the same bar."
Seems like I'm always drinkin' on a rainy day.
Count your blessings, come as they may.
Gradma who said, "Silence is golden.
The only answer is one is the almighty beholder.
A bird in the hand is better than two in the nest.
Don't ya count your chickens before they hatch.
Always save a lover for a rainy day.
Count your blessings, come as they may.
And it's a 'hush my mouth, landsakes alive'.
I don't believe that fishermen smell the same when they die.
Never put your cart before the horse,
Unless it knows how to push another horse.
It seems like I'm dancehall dreamin' on my rainy day.
Count your blessings, come as they may.
Talk bein' cheap, well I took their advice
And the older I get the more I know they were right.
What works for me may not work for you.
Everything I said was the God dang truth.
Well, I hope you ain't loney on a rainy day.
Count your blessings, come as they may.
And they're etched in my mind,
I could never forget 'em.
See, it ain't what ya said, just how ya said it.
