Small Town Hero Strays come runnin' bout O-dark thirty When Ms.Virginia scrapes the dirty plates clean The dogs and cats eat like kings And every Friday there's balls and bats And Mr. Jackson plays a little catch with the fatherless sons Like a daddy woulda' done My neighbor lady gets a ride the store 'Cuz everybody knows her husband can't take her anymore (CHORUS) You don't see a cape and they don't fly Don't wear a mask or try to hide Who they are You can see 'ern in their front yards Don't need a building to burn or a bullet to fly To make a difference and save a life They're just down the road, A small town hero I've only lived here about six months And my big city ways are coming undone I'm pitchin' in Learnin' how to give again I don't spend my time worried about me 'Cause there are people who just might need it a little more Maybe that's what I'm here for Takin' care of each other is nothin' new to them CHORUS Here in this small town It's nothin' new to them Takin' care of each other That's how it's always been CHORUS (different last two lines) I'm proud to know A small town hero
