Cameron Love - Fifty Dollar Lyrics

She was a fifty dollar singer, in a fifty cents bar
Like everybody in there, she was gonna go far
She sang songs of love and freedom. of love and fear and fate
Songs about the future, and the past to contemplate
She loved to tell old stories, of how it could have been
People she once drank with and the good times in between
The highs and lows she took them in good and humble stride
But deep inside she knew it, there was no place to hide

So sing your song out loud now, and let your passion flow
I look out on those city lights, tell me what do I see
Fill your days with good times, into your heart they'll flow
Thousand people and city lights looking back to you and me
Don't think about tomorrow, it may never come
Take me back to the still waters
Love the ones you're with now, the past can't be undone
Where my heart can gently flow

The years flew past and time moved on, she kept saying sing along
The songs that folks just loved to hear, memories of a bygone year
When she was young and fancy free, she looked to the future and had no fear
Now all she has are memories some good some bad but true
Learn from this story my old friend it could be me or you

So sing your song out loud now, and let your passion flow
I look out on those city lights, tell me what do I see
Fill your days with good times, into your heart they'll flow
Thousand people and city lights looking back to you and me
Don't think about tomorrow, it may never come
Take me back to the still waters
Love the ones you're with now, the past can't be undone
Where my heart can gently flow

She was a fifty dollar singer, in a fifty cents bar
