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
D                      G
It took a whole lot of years and tears
        A                D
For her momma to finally admit
D                  G
No matter how many stitches and pins

That old dress was never gonna fit

Teacher's pet, pageant queen

She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me,

Waking up in someone else's dream"

Her daddy used to say, "You'll make a lovely bride someday
D                G                        A                D
He'll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away"
D                                  G
It took twenty-five years and some broken vows
       A              D
Before they'd finally see
D                        G
There's a little more to love and life
A
Then fairy tales and hand me down dreams

Waking up in someone else's dream"

Now she's got twenty-seven candles on her cake
        Em                D/F#
And she means to make her life her own
  G                     A
Before there's twenty-eight
