The Price on the Street

[intro]

[verse]
Well she emailed on a Monday
Wanting a quote 
The chances of talking
Were extremely remote.
‘Til I wrote her a few things
I needed to know
And it got her to talking 
So…I…led…with…a…”no”

[chorus]
I said, “tell me about it
Be specific if you can,
Give me an example
How long has it been?
What have you tried do?
And did anything work?
How much has it cost you?
And does that make you hurt?
And finally I asked as her emotions welled up…
“Have you given up? Oh, have you given up?”

[verse]
We talked about toothpaste 
From the dollar tree
And expensive medication
From the airport, duty-free 
Then she asked me to answer,
“How much?”
I reversed her,
and started back up…

[chorus]
I said, “tell me about it
Be specific if you can,
Give me an example
How long has it been?
What have you tried do?
And did anything work?
How much did it cost u?
Does that make you hurt?
And finally I asked as her emotions welled up…
“Have you given up? Oh, have you given up?”

[bridge]
I could tell she was
Frustrated with me 
She said, “I need to go,
just send the quote to me”

[chorus]
I said, “tell me about it
Be specific if you can,
Give me an example…
But then a dialtone interrupted this man,
A bird in the bush, is worth two in the hand…





[chorus]

Give me an example…
But then a dialtone interrupted this man,
A bird in the bush, is worth two in the hand…
