The Ghost Inside

She sold her love to a modern man

Cause solid currency's the hardest to land

All of that money helps you cover your ass

Don't let the ladyfinger blow in your hand



Give it up

For that daughter

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 is shaking her hard

Too late to leave him now the song's in the can



Give it up

For that daughter

She's a star tonight

Without warning

She gave up

The ghost inside



You call it chivalry

You never pulled 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 a daughter

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

Turning another page

Trust me darlin'

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

Crawling over rubble 

Just to serve ya ...



Though I tend to wonder why?
