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
