[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
