Dancin' For The Groceries Lyrics

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 sequence and in laces She's dancin' for the braces So her kids can have a perfect smile someday 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 take in 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 business men stair 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/dancin-for-the-groceries-lyrics-kenny-chesney.html ] She's dancin' for the credit card That she's already spent
In sequence and in laces She's dancin' for the braces So her kids can have a perfect smile someday 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 But she just heard the DJ 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 sequence and in laces She's dancin' for the braces So her kids can have a perfect smile someday Smilin' while she dances, smilin' while she dances Is the price she has to pay
She's dancin' for the groceries Is the price she has to pay Dancin' for the groceries Is the price she has to pay Dancin' for the groceries
