D                            D9
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
Em
Whatever they are
D                              D9
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]
G                         
She?s at the startin? line of the rest of her life
         D
As ready as she?s ever been
G                  
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
     D
The prize is hers to win
G
She?s waitin? on my blessings before she
D 
hits that open road
    Em
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
D
Don?t go
Don?t go
She?s gotta do what she?s gotta do
She?s gotta do what she?s gotta do
