Lyric Someone Else s Dream

Her momma s still got that sequin gown that she wore in 68
She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade
It took a whole lot of years and tears
For her momma to finally admit
No matter how many stitches and pins
That old dress was never gonna fit

She was daddy s little girl
Momma s little angel
Teacher s pet, pageant queen
She said "All my life I ve been pleasin everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else s dream"

Her daddy used to say, "You ll make a lovely bride someday
He ll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away"
It took twenty-five years and some broken vows
Before they d finally see
There s a little more to love and life
Then fairy tales and hand me down dreams

She was daddy s little girl
Momma s little angel
Teacher s pet, pageant queen
She said "All my life I ve been pleasin everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else s dream"

Now she s got twenty-seven candles on her cake
And she means to make her life her own
Before there s twenty-eight

She was daddy s little girl
Momma s little angel
Teacher s pet, pageant queen
She said "All my life I ve been pleasin everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else s dream"
