Ready, Set, Don't Go

She's gotta do what she's gotta do

And I've gotta like it or not

She's got dreams too big for this town

And she needs to give 'em a shot

Whatever they are

Looks like I'm all ready to leave

With nothing left to pack

Ain't no room for me in that car

Even if she asked me to tag along

God, I gotta be strong

I'm at the startin' line of the rest of my life

As ready as I've ever been

Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes

The prize is mine to win

She's waitin' on my blessings

Before she hits that open road

But, baby, get ready (Oh, I'm ready)

Get set, don't go

Looks like things are fallin' in place

Feels like they're fallin' apart

I painted this big old smile on my face

To hide my broken heart

If only she knew

This is where you don't say

What you want so bad to say

This is where I want to

But I won't get in the way

Of her and her dreams

And spreadin' her wings

('Cause I'm ready to fly)

I'm at the startin' line of the rest of my life

As ready as I've ever been

Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes

The prize is mine to win

She's waitin' on my blessings

Before she hits that open road

But, baby, get ready, get set, don't go

I'm at the startin' line of the rest of my life

And ready as I've ever been

Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes

The prize is mine to win

She's waitin' on my blessings

Before she hits that open road

But, baby, get ready, get set

Please, don't go

Don't go (Let me go now, I'm ready)

Mmm, don't go (I'll be alright, I'll be okay)

(Know that I'll be thinking of you each and every day)

She's gotta do what she's gotta do

(Let me go now)

She's gotta do what she's gotta do

(Ooh, I gotta do what I gotta do)

She's gotta do what she's gotta do
