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
