    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this for the Omega Reunion Song Camp and recorded as if I was performing it. Now where can I get a flanger. Hmmmm

    Lyrics
    IN A ROADSIDE DITCH SALLIE CROUCHED AND COWERED 5-10-02 tp (c)

    COVERED BY THE LEAVES AND DEBRIS

    NOT MUCH THINKING BOUT THE TIME AND LESS ABOUT THE HOUR

    SOME CAR MAY COME AND END IT ALL FOR ME


    THEN CAME THE SOUND OF A DISTANT GRAVEL CRUNCHING

    A CLOUD OF DUST CHASED AT IT CLOSE FOR FUN

    A HEAD POPPED OUT THE TOP AND OUTSTRECHED ARMS STARTED GRABBING

    AT THE BRANCHES SHADING SALLIE FROM THE SUN


    WE’LL TAKE YOU IN. DON’T BE AFRAID.

    WE ALL KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE A STRAY

    TO BE FORGIVEN AND TO LET DEBTS GO UNPAID

    COME WITH US TO THE LITTLE HOME WE’VE MADE


    WE SET THE PUP IN A BED MADE OUT OF PINE STRAW

    IN THE FRONT WHERE THE HEMLOCK STAND

    THERE SHE GAINED HER STRENGTH, THERE SHE STARTED TRAINING

    HER WARY EYE LIKE RADAR ON THE LAND


    AND EVERY VARMIT CAME TO KNOW WHEN THE WHITE TAIL STARTED FLAGGING

    IT WAS HIGH TIME TO HEAD UP TO THE HILLS

    THE GROUNDHOGS THAT ONCE USED MY GARDEN AS THEIR OWN CHUCK WAGON

    WERE THE QUARRY SALLIE USED TO GET HER THRILLS


    SHE’D GRAB EM QUICK THER’D BE NO MISTAKE

    IN THE BLINKING OF AN EYE SHE’D GIVE A SHAKE

    TOSS EM TO THE SIDE AND CARRY ON

    SALLIE WAS THE ONE TO BRING EM HOME


    NOW SHE’S IN THE HOUSE HAPPY TO HAVE MADE IT

    CURLED UP IN WITH A BLANKET AS HER THRONE

    I OFTEN STOP TO THINK ABOUT THE CRUEL WORLD OUTSIDE WAITING

    FOR THE NEXT TIME KILLER SALLIE’S ON HER OWN
