Count Your Blessings – Pat Green
INTRO D
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 g
rass ain’t always greener on the other side.
Better s
ave your money for a rainy d
ay.
Count your blessings, c
ome as they m
ay.”
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 o
ver til it’s over and the fat lady sings.
Only qu
itters who lose throw their towel in the ring.
Well, I h
ope ya ain’t workin’ on a rainy d
ay.
Count your blessings, c
ome as they m
ay.
And it’s a ‘h
ush my mouth, landsakes alive’.
I don’t be
lieve that fishermen smell the s
ame when they die.
Never put your cart before the horse,
Unless it knows how to p
ush another horse.
Seems like I’m always dreamin’ on a rainy d
ay.
Count your blessings, c
ome as they m
ay.

And it was grandpa who said, “Son, you can’t buy love.
You c
an jump in with both feet but don’t jump the gun.
Stay outta trouble. Count your lucky stars.
Never g
et drunk in two states inside the same bar.”
Seems like I’m a
lways drinkin’ on a rainy d
ay.
Count your blessings, c
ome as they m
ay.
Gradma who said, “Silence is golden.
The only an
swer is one is the almighty beholder.
A b
ird 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 d
ay.
Count your blessings, c
ome as they
may.
And it’s a ‘h
ush my mouth, landsakes alive’.
I don’t be
lieve that fishermen smell the s
ame when they die.
Never put your cart before the horse,
Unless it knows how to p
ush another horse.
It s
eems like I’m dancehall dreamin’ on my rainy d
ay.
Count your blessings, c
ome as they
may.
Talk bein’ cheap, well I took their advice
And the o
lder 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 h
ope you ain’t loney on a rainy d
ay.
Count your blessings, c
ome as they m
ay.
And they’re et
ched in my mind,
I could never for
get ’em.
See, it ain’t what ya said, j
ust how ya s
aid it.
