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
