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
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 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
