What's a Dollar Worth

[Verse] What's a dollar worth when the rent's unpaid When the night gets long and the light starts to fade It’s a crumpled dream in a pocket torn A shipwrecked sailor in a storm forlorn [Chorus] Oh tell me tell me what's a dollar worth Is it weight in gold or a fistful of dirt Can it buy back time or a broken trust Oh tell me tell me what's a dollar worth [Verse 2] Is it a ticket home or a one-way track A shiny promise that don’t give back A paper bird in a fiery cage A quiet whisper on a crowded stage [Prechorus] I hear it sing I hear it shout But what’s it all about [Chorus] Oh tell me tell me what's a dollar worth Is it weight in gold or a fistful of dirt Can it buy back time or a broken trust Oh tell me tell me what's a dollar worth [Bridge] It’s a liar’s grin it’s a gambler’s bet A sweet regret you ain’t tasted yet It’s a thief at dawn it’s a beggar’s curse So tell me tell me what's a dollar worth
