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   Ain't no room for me in that car   Even if she asked me to tag along   God, I gotta be strong      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   But baby get ready, get set, don't go      She says things are fallin' in place   Feels like they're fallin' 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 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   But 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   But baby get ready, get set, please don't go      Don't go, mmm don't go   She's gotta do what she's gotta do   She's gotta do what she's gotta do
