Kathleen Edwards The Cheapest Key Lyrics

The Cheapest Key Lyrics

A is for all the times I bit my tongue

B is for bullshit and you fed me some

C is for charity and now you're mine

D is for dollars but you're counting dimes



E is the exit sign backstage at shows

F is my favorite letter, as you know

G is for God loves a patient man

Who spends his days living in ego land



You always write it in the cheapest key

You always blame it on the cheapest key

You always play me in the cheapest key



They say the start's always the hardest part

But like you know, baby, I'm all warmed up

Sometimes I wanna shout your name out loud

And let them in on what you're all about



You always write it in the cheapest key

You always blame it on the cheapest key

You always play me in the cheapest key



But don't get me wrong

Here comes my softer side and there it goes

'Cause I've been on the road too long to sympathize

With what you think you're owed



You always write it in the cheapest key

You always blame it on the cheapest key

You always play me in the cheapest key

The cheapest key, the cheapest key
