(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
CHORUSMemorial Day
(Crowe/Cochran)
Look at the green grass
All the white stone masts
Your ship ain't going nowhere baby
You can't sail away from this
Memorial day
Come every April
I hear the shadows call
By the time May comes around
I know that history only exists
Because of war
Memorial day
I understand the need to
Respect the dead
Learn from them
I understand there's more to this
More to this than counting baby
More to this than counting
I wear my grand dad's medals
The ones he wouldn't wear
They represented destruction to him
They feel like freedom
When you look at them from here
Memorial day
Memorial day
Memorial day
Yesterday was significant
If yesterday you were alive
The things that were important
When you woke up yesterday
Just remember who you were,
adjust for flight
Memorial day
