She's gotta do what she's gotta do

And I've got to like it or not

She got dreams to big for this town

And she needs to give them a shot

Wherever 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 asks me to tag along

God I gotta be strong

I'm at the startin' line

For the rest of my life

As ready as I've ever been

Got the hunger and 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

Looks like things are fallin' in place

Feels like there fallin' apart

I've 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 in her dreams

And spreadin' her wings

I'm ready to fly

I'm at the startin' line

For the rest of my life

As ready as I've ever been

Got the hunger and 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

For the rest of my life

As ready as I've ever been

Got the hunger and stars in my eyes

The prize is mine to win

She's waitin' on my blessings

Before she hits that open road

Baby get ready

Get set

Please, don't go

Don't go

Let me go now I'm ready

Mmmm Don't go

I'll be alright, I'll be okay

You know that I'll be thinking of you

Each and every day

She's gotta do what she's gotta do
