Song for Dolly
Song for Dolly
Lyrics and vocals by Tamara Raidt and Julien
Dolly what a strange thing to say to someone you don’t know
Dolly I had the hardest week but you sang me to sleep
So I packed a bag, I might have stolen a car
I took the quickest road, ran a few red lights just to find you
Here I am on your doorstep and you look scared to death
You said you called the cops and they’re minutes away
Dolly what a strange thing to say but I think I love you
And the judge was nice to me so I guess I don’t blame you
Now I have to stay 500 meters away
But as soon as I can I’ll be on my way to you
Here I am on your doorstep and you look scared to death
You said you called the cops and I’m writing this song
From my cell
a neat little story; nice song 🙂
How creative and beautifully sung – I hope he got a long sentence, if not she better move! Well done for brightening up my evening!
Wow! You have earned the right to be an honorary West Virginian. Great job.
