Dancin' For The Groceries Lyrics - Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates - Kenny Chesney

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 

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 

Photos 

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
