Someone Else's Dreams
Her momma's still got that sequined gown that she wore in '68.
She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave for 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 says "All my life I've been pleasing
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 a big white horse and just carry you away."
It took 25 years and some broken vows before they finally seen
there's a little more than love and life in fairy tales
and hand-me-down dreams.
She was daddy's little girl,
momma's little angel,
teacher's pet,
pageant queen.
She says "All my life I've been pleasing
everyone but me."
Waking up in someone else's dream.
Now she's got twenty seven candles on her cake,
and she needs 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 says "All my life I've been pleasing
everyone but me."
Waking up in someone else's...
She was daddy's little girl,
momma's little angel,
teacher's pet,
pageant queen.
She says "All my life I've been pleasing
everyone but me."
Waking up in someone else's dream.
Answering Machine (South American Version)
Here she comes walking down the street
She's got something you would love to meet
It's her heart and her heart is black
Think of ice cream sliding into a crack
The heat sticks to summer's heavy sweat
Hang around it'll get hotter yet
You got the shakes and it's gonne get worse
Don't you know it's all a part of the curse
She's got the hit that takes you into space
Suck mud and make a deal for that taste
You got nothing but you're riding on a star
You couldn't guess that she could take you that far
Some things are so hard to s
