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 pa**ed 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 pa**ed 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 pa**ed down to me
