Ready, Set, Don't Go - Billy Ray Cyrus



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 she's all ready to leave
Nothing left to pack
There ain't no room for me in that car
Even if she asked me to tag along
God I gotta be strong

(chorus)
She's at the startin' 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 waitin' 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 ol' 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 spreadin' her wings


She's at the startin' 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 waitin' on my blessings before she hits that open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don't go


She's at the startin' 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 waitin' on my blessings before she hits that open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Please 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

I love this song its so sweet, you can just feel the pain hes feeling having to accept that his baby girl isnt a baby anymore and hes having to let her go out on her own....Its a beautiful song and very touching that he loves her so much to write it

When I heard this song my girls were watching Hannah Montana and I stopped and listened to the words and it brought tears to my eyes because it made me think about my oldest daughter that is going into her senior yr of school and then off to college and I dont want to let her go ...very touching song I want to give it to her when she does leave....I LOVED IT
