One Good Thing Anaïs Mitchell

Turn that TV off now baby
I'm so low I don't even sing
Tell me something bout my country
Tell me one good thing

Cash and Elvis, Cain and Abel
Down in Memphis trading hands
Big girls dancing on the tables
Dancing for the band

Put that paper down now, baby
I'm so low, I don't even sing
Tell me something about my country
Tell me one good thing

King and Malcolm, lamb and lion
Setting Alabama free
Thirty thousand angels flying
From Montgomery

Switch that station off now, baby
I'm so low, I don't even sing
Tell me something about my country
Tell me one good thing
Tell me one good thing
