This song Dancin For The Groceries is about stripper and what she does to care for her family.
She's thinkin' 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 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 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 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 Whatever her name is tonight she can't recall The business men stare at the single mother Who's smiling while she's staring 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 dancing for the braces So her kids can have 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 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 sequins 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 She's dancin' for the groceries It's the price she has to pay
She's dancin' for the groceries It's the price she has to pay
