Kenny Chesney "Dancin' for the Groceries" |
She's thinkin' about what her kids are doin' Five miles away it's almost time for bed They're brushin' teeth and hearin' 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 boss man 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 dancin' for the groceries She's dancin' for the rent She's dancin' for the credit card that she's already spent In sequins and in laces She's dancin' for the braces So her kids can have a perfect smile some day Smilin' 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's money in those pockets for the taking And if you do it right it makes the time go fast. The music's loud, the drinks are mostly water What her name is tonight she can't recall The businessmen stare at the single mother Who's smilin'while she's starin' at the wall. She's dancin' for the groceries She's dancin' for the rent She's dancin' for the credit card that she's already spent In sequins and in laces She's dancin' for the braces So her kids can have a perfect smile some day Smilin' 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 what it was she did before She just heard the D.J. say you're on. And the lights come up and they play her song. She's dancin' for the groceries She's dancin' for the rent She's dancin' for the credit card that she's already spent In sequins and in laces She's dancin for the braces So her kids can have a perfect smile some day Smilin while she dances, smilin' while she dances Is the price she has to pay. She's dancin' for the groceries It's the price she has to pay Dancin' for the groceries Is the price she has to pay... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
