Grocery Store

Standin' in line at the grocery store
It’s February as cold as it gets
There’s a little girl in front of with no coat on
Her momma’s buying tampons and cigarettes
I try to catch her eye, give her a smile
Tell her it’s gonna be okay but it might take a while
Everybody’s got somethin' that they’re searchin' for
Tuesday night standing in line at the grocery store
Cashiers seem a little distracted
He’s starin' off into space
He’s well dressed and handsome, fifty-something
And he seems so out of place
He looks like a football coach
Who just lost his way
Maybe he drinks to much
But who am I to say
Everybody’s got somethin' that they’re searchin' for
Tuesday night standing in line at the grocery store
We all stare at the magazines
Movie stars and beauty queens
Everything that we’re supposed to be
Times are hard right now but we all get by somehow
Up and down the aisles of the American Dream
Everybody’s got somethin' that they’re searchin' for
Everybody’s got somethin' that they’re searchin' for
Tuesday night, marchin' in time, standin' in line at the grocery store
