Dancin For The Groceries Tab

by Kenny Chesney


Intro
  -Twice
   -TWICE

                                    
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


                               Chorus
                     
 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 have 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's money in those pockets for the take in
                                   
An 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


                              Chorus
                     
 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 have a perfect smile someday
                
Smiling While she dances
                       -Hold
  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
                     
But at what she did before
                        
She just heard the dj say your 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 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 have a perfect smile someday
                  
Smiling While she dances
                  
Smiling While she dances

Is the price she has to pay
