[Verse 1]

She sold her love to a modern man

Good solid currency’s the hardest to land

All of that money helps you cover your ass

Don't let the ladyfinger blow in your hands

[Chorus]

Did it all, for that dollar

She's a star tonight

Without warning

She gave up the ghost inside

[Verse 2]

Just like a whiskey bottle drained on the floor

She got no future, just a life to endure

This good samaritan is shaking her hand

Too late to leave here now, the songs in the can

[Chorus]

Give it up, for that dollar

She's a star tonight

Without warning

She gave up the ghost inside

[Verse 3]

You call it chivalry

Never pull a punch for free

You ever wonder why they had to move on

This phony honor code

That put you on your throne

A double-standard you invoke when you want

[Chorus]

For that dollar

She's a star tonight

Without warning

She gave up the ghost inside

[Bridge]

Was it all for show?

Don't turn into one of them

Turning another page

Trust me darling

I'm carving a moat through the dust in your town

Crawling over the rubble

Just to serve you

Tend to wonder why

[Chorus - Instrumental]
