A Hometown Hero

Jesse lived in my hometown                                                                           
Some curious pets stop to see                                                                                     
Like a petting zoo in small-town                                                                                       
the way downtown to get slushy                                                                                       
A crow that could speak could it be                                                                                 
To see sandy a dog shepherd                                                                                     
Coming to the fence petted her                                                                                   
Now much colder a winter’s play                                                                                  
Face in snow a hill cold killer                                                                                      
God saved me a sandy way   	                    				
				                                                                
Thank you Jesus for sent herder	                                                                                   
So cold I could go know further                                                                                    
She woke me dragging home today	                                                                  
Thank you for Jesse and for her                                                                                        
God saved me a sandy way
