Her momma's still got that sequin gown that she wore in '68

She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade

He'll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away"
D                                  G
It took twenty-five years and some broken vows
       A              D
Before they'd finally see
D                        G
There's a little more to love and life

Then fairy tales and hand me down dreams
