Ready to Go
Son Of The Velvet Rat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm ready to go - I'm not
Waiting for someone to say
Stay you could make me sad
Cause everybody's sad these days

I'm ready to ask for you
If I could speak I'd say
Stay you could make me sad

&everybody's sad these days

Are you sad - no not us
We are just confused by love

The cars go so fast & the planes
Crossing the sky going somewhere

I'm ready to go anywhere
With you
