Somebody 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» |
