Dancin' For The Groceries

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 didnt have to take it off again 

She's dancin for the Groceries 
She's dancin for the rent 
she's dancing for the credit cards 
that she's already spent 
in sequence 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 dont 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 stairing at the wall 

She's dancin for the Groceries 
She's dancin for the rent 
she's dancing for the credit cards 
that she's already spent 
in sequence 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 noone will ever know 
but it wats she did before 
she just heard the dj say your on 
The lights come up 
and they play her song
