Don't mind failing in this world

A sweet little song by a grandma lady from out west “Melvina Reynolds” bless her heart and excuse the language, Smile don’t mind failing in this world,
I don’t mind failing in this world,
Don’t mind wearing the ragged britches
‘Cause those who succeed are the sons of bitches,
I don’t mind failing in this world.

I don’t mind failing in this world,
I don’t mind failing in this world,
I’ll stay down with the raggedy crew,
‘Cause getting up there means stepping on you, so
I don’t mind failing in this world.

I don’t mind failing in this world,
I don’t mind failing in this world,
Somebody else’s definition
Isn’t going to measure my soul’s condition,
I don’t mind failing in this world.

I don’t mind failing in this world,
I don’t mind failing in this world,
Never mind the custom suits,
The gentle hearts wear the dusty boots, so
I don’t mind failing in this world.

I don’t mind failing in this world,
I don’t mind failing in this world,
Some people ride in a car so fine
While others walk on a picket line, so
I don’t mind failing in I don’t mind failing in this world,
I don’t mind failing in this world,
Don’t mind wearing the ragged britches
‘Cause those who succeed are the sons of bitches,
I don’t mind failing in this world.

Brilliant. And the folks who don't mind failing... seem to be the folks who succeed in the stuff that matters. I love this one.

Well Said / Good Message It reminds me of a specific SOB. I had the misfortune of crossing his path.
