She's gotta do what she's gotta do
And I've gotta like it or not
She's got dreams too big for this town
And she needs to give 'em a shot
Whatever they are

Looks like I'm all ready to leave
And nothing left to pack
Ain't no room for me in that car
Even if she asked me to tag along
God I gotta be strong

(Chorus)

I'm at the startin' line of the rest of my life
As ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
She's waitin' on my blessings 'fore she hits that open road but
Baby get ready (Oooohh I'm ready! )
Get set
Don't go

Looks like things are fallen in place
Feels like they're fallen apart
I painted this big ol' 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 and her dreams
And spreadin' her wings
I'm ready to fly!
I'm at the startin' line of the rest of my life
As ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the 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
Don't go

I'm at the startin' line of the rest of my life
As ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
I'll be ok
She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that open road
Baby get ready
Ohhhhhhhhhh
Get set
Please Don't go

Don't go
Let me go now
I'm ready
Mmmmmm Don't go
I'll be alright
I'll be okay
Know that I'll be thinking bout you each and everyday
She's gotta do what she's gotta do
Let me go now
She's gotta do what she's gotta do
I've gotta do what I've gotta do
Fly
She's gotta do what she's gotta do
