Someone Else`s Dream

<br>Her momma`s still got that sequin gown that she wore in `68<br>She taught her early how to smile that smile and wav from the parades<br>It took a whole lot of years and tears<br>For her momma to finally admit<br>No matter how many stiches and pins<br>That old dress was never gonna fit<br>(Chorus)<br>She was daddy`s little girl<br>Momma`s little angel<br>Teacher`s pet, Pageant queen<br>She said "All my life I`ve been pleasin` everyone but me,<br>Waking up in someone else`s dream"<br>Her daddy used to say "You`ll make a lovely bride someday<br>He`ll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away"<br>It took 25 years and some broken vows<br>Before they`d finally see<br>There`s a little more to love and life<br>Then fairy tails and hand me down dreams<br>(Chorus)<br>(Bridge)<br>Now she`s got 27 candles on her cake<br>And she means to make her life her own<br>before there`s 28<br>(Chorus)
