Kenny Chesney - Dancin' For The Groceries lyrics

She's thinking about what her kids are doing Five miles away, it's almost time for bed They're brushing teeth and hearing one more story And in the mirror she paints her lips bright red She wishes she could call and say she loves them But the bossman says no calls go out or in So she puts on a dress that might feel pretty If she didn't have to take it off again She's dancing for the Groceries She's dancing for the rent She's dancing for the credit cards That she's already spent In sequins and in laces She's dancing for the braces So her kids can a perfect smile someday Smiling While she dances Is the price she has to pay They tell her in this job there is no future So get it while you can Cause looks don't last There money in those pockets for the take in If u do it right it makes the time go fast The music loud the drinks are mostly water What her name is tonight she cant recall The business men stair at the single mother Whose smiling while she's staring at the wall She's dancing for the Groceries She's dancing for the rent She's dancing for the credit cards That she's already spent In sequins and in laces She's dancing for the braces So her kids can a perfect smile someday Smiling While she dances Is the price she has to pay Someday she'll have a house out in the country Someday she'll see the other side of dawn And no one will ever know But it what's she did before She just heard the DJ say your on The lights come up And they play her song
