Girls Against Abuse, Mary Lancaster - Midway Grocer Lyrics

Sarah was laughin' as she swept the floor
Havin' the time of her life
Scott the butcher was tellin' her a joke
Flirtin' with his sky blue eyes
Roberta overheard from two isles down
And covered up her smile
As Sarah said Scott your such a ham
Why don't you give it a rest a while
It's Thursday at the Midway
And no one wants to go home
Carrie from the deli was the cool one
Showin' off her new tattoos
She didn't always know how she got 'em
Her nights were always front page news
Neva lost her husband back in 96
Last year a car crash took her kids
Behind the dairy she drinks a fifth
To forget about them
It's Thursday at the Midway
And no one wants to go home
Where there's nothing there for them
At home there's never enough
But at the corner grocer they found love
Oh love
Love
Sarah was cryin' as she swept the floor
She couldn't clean up her life
Scott the butcher offered her a smoke
But she couldn't look him in the eyes
Roberta walked over from two isles down
To help Sarah dry her tears
Girl I hide my broken smile
Cause I confuse love and fear
It's Thursday at the Midway
And no one wants to go home
Where there's nothing there for them
At home there's never enough
But at the corner grocer they found love
Oh love
Love

Sarah was laughin' as she swept the floor
Havin' the time of her life
Scott the butcher was tellin' her a joke
Flirtin' with his sky blue eyes
Roberta overheard from two isles down
And covered up her smile
As Sarah said Scott your such a ham
Why don't you give it a rest a while
It's Thursday at the Midway
And no one wants to go home
Carrie from the deli was the cool one
Showin' off her new tattoos
She didn't always know how she got 'em
Her nights were always front page news
Neva lost her husband back in 96
Last year a car crash took her kids
Behind the dairy she drinks a fifth
To forget about them
It's Thursday at the Midway
And no one wants to go home
Where there's nothing there for them
At home there's never enough
But at the corner grocer they found love
Oh love
Love
Sarah was cryin' as she swept the floor
She couldn't clean up her life
Scott the butcher offered her a smoke
But she couldn't look him in the eyes
Roberta walked over from two isles down
To help Sarah dry her tears
Girl I hide my broken smile
Cause I confuse love and fear
It's Thursday at the Midway
And no one wants to go home
Where there's nothing there for them
At home there's never enough
But at the corner grocer they found love
Oh love
Love
