Someone Elses 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"
