Someone Else's Dream

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] She was daddy's little girl Momma's little angel Teacher's pet, pageant queen She said "All my life I've been pleasing everyone but me Waking up in someone else's dream" [Verse 2] 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 fairytales and hand me down dreams [Chorus] She was daddy's little girl Momma's little angel Teacher's pet, pageant queen She said "All my life I've been pleasing everyone but me Waking up in someone else's dream" [Bridge] Now she's got twenty-seven candles on her cake And she means to make her life her own Before there's twenty-eight [Chorus] She was daddy's little girl Momma's little angel Teacher's pet, pageant queen She said "All my life I've been pleasing everyone but me Waking up in someone else's dream" She was daddy's little girl Momma's little angel Teacher's pet, pageant queen She said "All my life I've been pleasing everyone but me Waking up in someone else's, someone else's dream Waking up in someone else's dream"
