Disco Kroger: Last Dance on Pharr Road

Across from Tongue & Groove, the aisles become a dance floor for Buckhead's late-night revelers, where glitter and groceries collide.

Lyrics

[Intro]

Pharr Road at midnight, 1994 glows eternal.
Tongue & Groove spills out its sequined survivors.

[Verse 1]
You stumble across the asphalt, heels clicking like castanets.
Glitter dusts your shoulders, a constellation of last night's stars.
The automatic doors sigh open, fluorescent baptism.
Aisle three, frozen pizzas call like old lovers.

[Chorus]
Oh, Disco Kroger, where the glitter falls like snow.
Carts waltz past the dairy case, milk jugs in hand.
Buckhead's secret ballroom, 3 AM confessions.
Groceries and grooves collide, under the humming lights.

[Verse 2]
Tongue & Groove's bass still pulses in your veins.
You grab a Snickers, a Gatorade, remnants of the fever.
A stranger in stilettos nods, shares a knowing smile.
Glitter trails on the linoleum, mapping the night's chaos.

[Bridge]
Remember that opening night, 1994, when the doors first swung wide.
Pharr Road became a bridge between beats and breakfast aisles.
No judgments here, just carts and confessions.

[Chorus]
Oh, Disco Kroger, where the glitter falls like snow.
Carts waltz past the dairy case, milk jugs in hand.
Buckhead's secret ballroom, 3 AM confessions.
Groceries and grooves collide, under the humming lights.

[Verse 3]
The cashier at register five, she's seen it all.
Glitter in her hair from a hug at closing time.
You push your cart out, back into the neon dawn.
Pharr Road whispers, come back soon.

[Outro]
Glitter on the floor, eternal sparkle.
Last dance on Pharr Road.
