Ready
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've gotta like it or not
She's got dreams too big for this town
And she needs to give them a shot
Whatever they are
Looks like she's all ready to leave
Nothing left to pack
Even if she asked me to tag along
God I gotta be strong
She's at the starting line of the rest of her life
As ready as she's ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She's waiting on my blessings before she hits that open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don't go
She says things are fallen into place
Feels like they're fallen apart
I painted this big old smile on my face
To hide my broken heart
If only she knew
This is where I don't say what I 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 spreading her wings
She's at the starting line of the rest of her life
As ready as she's ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She's waiting on my blessings before she hits that open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don't go
She's at the starting line of the rest of her life
As ready as she's ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She's waiting on my blessings before she hits that open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
She's gotta do what she's gotta do
She's gotta do what she's gotta do

My dad sent me this song when I moved to another country for college. He died a few months after that and the last time I ever saw him was at the airport before moving. This songs makes me cry like a baby. He was my best friend and the best dad I could ever ask for.
Miss you.
