5 CHINESE BROTHERS - Amazing Dolores lyrics

(paul foglino)

For amazing dolores

Amazing dolores saw an angel in the trailer park

She talked to him like he was really there

Amazing dolores has 50 years behind her

She's got two ex-husbands, she's got great big hair

Amazing dolores was called to be a singer

A lot of folks don't seem to understand

Amazing dolores sings the songs the way she hears them

She hears the beat of a different drummer,

She hears the tune of a pickup band

Chorus

Amazing dolores sings the words of the holy spirit

With a heart from rhythm and blues

Amazing dolores, lonely voice, hallelujah chorus

There's gospel cheer and ice cold beer

Grace is where you find it here

Every wednesday night at the empty glass saloon

Amazing dolores saved herself for elvis

Found herself in janis, she never sticks to the melody

Amazing dolores hears these voices in her head

They sing along with her, she don't need psychology

Chorus

Amazing dolores knows people think she's funny

She thinks people are funny too

Amazing dolores doesn't care what people say

This is the way it's supposed to be

This is the work she was called to do

Chorus
