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 
Where ever 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
