She sold her love to a modern man
'Cause solid currency's the hardest to love
All other modern helps you cover your eye
Don't let the lady finger blow in your hat, dee-dee-da
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 love to endure
This gives some matter to shaking her hide
Too late to leave him are the songs in her car, dee-dee-da
For that daughter
She's a star tonight
Without warning

She gave up the ghost inside
They call it chivalry, never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why they had to move on
This phony article, they put you on the floor
A double standard you evoke when you want
For that daughter
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
Was it all for show to turn into all of them?
Turning a page, trust me darling
I'm carving 'em up through the dust in your town
Crawling over rubble just to sound me out
Tend to wonder why

Also, the second verse is wrong too.
It should be:
You call it chivalry, never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why you had to move on
This phony honor code, that puts you on your throne
A double standard you invoke when you want
Was it all for show? Don't turn into one of them
Turning another page, trust me darling
I'm carving 'em up through the dust in your town
Crawling over rubble, just to sound me out
Thought I tend to wonder why
And it's definitely for that dollar in the chorus

I searched this to get the second verse, but i notice that a few parts are wrong. i think the first verse is: 'cause solid currency's the hardest to land. all of that money has to cover your eyes, don't let the lady finger blow in your hand.' then i believe the chorus is: "did it all, for that dollar. she's a star tonight. without warning she gave up the ghost inside." again, i may be wrong too, but this way makes more sense doesnt it?
