Ready to Go
The Peawees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Hey big city
My heart's beating fast
Everybody's waitin' now, guitars starts to shout
We can hear all the kids now, smell of Rock 'n' Roll
We're ready to go and I feel so good today
Hey big city the bass drum start to run
Everybody's waitin' now, he says: two, three, four
We can hear all the kids now, smell of Rock 'n' Roll
We're ready to go and I feel so good to today
And everybody come on come on let's go
Everybody can forget this fuckin' world




I don't care 'cause I love this way of life
And I love to see you dance to this song
