Someone Else's Dream
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) waking up in someone else's dream"
Her daddy used to say, "You'll make a lovely bride someday
He'll ride up on a big white horse and just carry you away"
It took 25 years and some broken vows
Before they'd finally see
There's a little more to love and life
Than fairytales 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) waking up in someone else's dream"
Now she's got 27 candles on her cake
And she means to make her life her own
Before there's 28
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) waking up in someone else..."
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) waking up in someone else's, someone else's dream"
Oh, in someone else's dream
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) waking up in someone else's dream"
Her daddy used to say, "You'll make a lovely bride someday
He'll ride up on a big white horse and just carry you away"
It took 25 years and some broken vows
Before they'd finally see
There's a little more to love and life
Than fairytales 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) waking up in someone else's dream"
Now she's got 27 candles on her cake
And she means to make her life her own
Before there's 28
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) waking up in someone else..."
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) waking up in someone else's, someone else's dream"
Oh, in someone else's dream
