Momma's dream when she was barely sixteen |
|
Wasn't to run the till at dairy queen |
|
She always knew if her wishes came true |
|
She'd be singing on the opry stage with who's who |
|
But somehow, life got in the way |
|
And she never did get to see that day |
|
She still sings like a bird for me |
|
But there's not a big crowd like she thought it'd be |
|
I watched her close, she couldn't have known |
|
She'd be standing backstage at all my shows |
|
She always taught be to be myself |
|
And i don't know how to be anything else |
|
Now i'm living the dream |
|
Jumping in with both feet |
|
I know it wouldn't always be easy |
|
I didn't have a choice |
|
I had to follow that voice |
|
Wherever it leads |
|
I'm gonna do my best |
|
And let god do the rest |
|
I'm living the dream |
|
My mama passed down to me |
|
Wouldn't you know i'm on the radio |
|
And mama turns it up as far as it will go |
|
Every night, my name is in lights |
|
And i make people dance or make em cry |
|
I know i always have a place to come home to |
|
She understands it's something i've gotta do |
|
Now i'm living the dream |
|
Jumping in with both feet |
|
I know it wouldn't always be easy |
|
I didn't have a choice |
|
I had to follow that voice |
|
Wherever it leads |
|
I'm gonna do my best |
|
And let god do the rest |
|
I'm living the dream |
|
My mama passed down to me |
|
And i hope she knows i wanted to be just like her |
|
And i'm proud to say that she's my mother and i'm her daughter |
|
Now i'm living the dream |
|
Jumping in with both feet |
|
I know it wouldn't always be easy |
|
I didn't have a choice |
|
I had to follow that voice |
|
Wherever it leads |
|
I'm gonna do my best |
|
And let god do the rest |
|
I'm living the dream |
|
My mama passed down to me |
