Living The Dream

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
