She sold her love to a modern man
'Cause solid currency's the hardest to land
All of that money helps you cover your eyes
Don't let the lady finger blow in your hand
Did it all

For that dollar
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside

Just like a whiskey bottle drained on the floor
She got no future just a life to endure
This good Samaritan's shaking her head
"Too Late to Leave Him" are the songs in her car
Did it all

For that dollar
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside

You call it chivalry
And never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why they had to move on
This phony honor code
That puts you on your throne
A double standard
You invoke when you want

For that dollar
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside

Was it all for show?
Don't turn into one of them
Turn another page
Trust me darling
I'm carving 'em up through the dust in your town

Crawling over rubble
Just to sort it out
...Tend to wonder why
