Kenny Chesney Lyrics for Song: Dancin' for the Groceries
 Lyrics for Album: Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates [RCA] [2007]
 
 
 
 34824>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...
