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
