Drawing a Line

For Hayley Nutland, a homeless girl who apprehended a man who mugged an elderly lady in my home town The word on the street is that Hayley done good A considerable feat for the girl from the wood She caught him, she taught him, that crime doesn’t pay She sought him, she fought him, he got put away There are good folk and bad folk, it’s not always clear Some folk have a toke, and drink buckets of beer But at mugging and stabbing, this girl draws a line She witnessed the grabbing, gave chase, and done fine So think twice when you say that someone is a zero Today, doff your hat, because Hayley’s a hero by Gail
