A Little Good News - Anne Murray

I rolled out this morning, kids had the morning news show on

Bryant Gumble was talking 'bout the fighting in Jerusalem

Some senator was squawking 'bout the bad economy

It’s gonna get worse you see, we need to change a policy

There’s a local paper rolled up in a rubber band

One more sad story’s one more then I can stand

Just once how I’d like to see the headline say

Not much to print today, can’t find nothing bad to say

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town

Nobody OD’ed, nobody burned a single building down

Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain

I sure could use a little good news today

I’ll come home this evening I bet that the news’ll be the same

Somebody takes a hostage somebody steels a plane

How I wanna hear the anchorman talk about a county fair

And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care because

Nobody was assassinated in the whole good world today

And in the streets of Ireland all the children had to do was play

And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA

I sure could use a little good news today

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town

Nobody OD’ed, nobody burned a single building down

Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain

I sure could use a little good news today

And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA

I sure could use a little good news today
