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
