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 And 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 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 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, please don't go Don't go, don't go now Mmm don't go I'll be all right, I'll be ok [Incomprehensible] Thinking of you each and every day She's gotta do what she's gotta do
