Ready

[00:09.83] I was down so long
[00:12.57] Everything was goin' wrong
[00:15.22] And the people all around me
[00:17.94] Got the news
[00:19.74] Lord and everything I tried
[00:22.53] Fell to pieces and slowly died
[00:25.29] My soul was going broke
[00:27.09] From paying dues
[00:32.49] I was very nearly beat
[00:34.27] When I crawled back to my feet
[00:37.86] Believing that a change
[00:39.63] Was overdue
[00:43.24] Now I'm pickin' up the pieces
[00:45.04] And takin' out new leases
[00:48.62] Gettin' ready for the things
[00:49.57] I want to do
[00:53.18] And you know I'm ready
[00:54.90] How tough is it gonna be
[00:57.64] Are you ready
[01:00.30] Don't keep asking me
[01:03.07] If I'm ready, yea, yea
[01:06.76] Leave it up to me
[01:08.57] I'm ready as I'm gonna be
[01:11.28] I'm ready finally
[01:22.93] Lord I'm ready to make my way
[01:26.50] Take it slowly from day to day
[01:28.33] Take it easy on myself
[01:30.10] As I roll along
[01:33.72] Lord knows it's down to me
[01:36.43] To write the melody
[01:39.14] To sing my own words
[01:40.94] To the song
[01:43.61] And you know I'm ready ...
[01:45.46]
