Lyrics

READY OR NOT (THERE SHE GOES)
words and music by William Kitchens and Darin Pavone

WITH A LUNCH PAIL IN HER HAND
THE SCHOOL BUS WAITS OUTSIDE
MAMA COMBS HER HAIR
AND WIPES THE TEAR FROM HER EYE
SAYS DON'T YOU WORRY GIRL, IT'LL BE ALRIGHT

AND WITH EVERY STEP SHE TAKES
QUICKER THAN BEFORE
FINDS HERSELF INSIDE THE BUS
SITTING BY THE DOOR
WATCHING HER HOUSE GET SMALLER, TILL IT'S OUT OF SIGHT

READY OR NOT, THERE SHE GOES
LEAVING BEHIND ALL SHE KNOWS
NOT QUITE SURE, WHAT'S WAITING UP THE ROAD
READY OR NOT, THERE SHE GOES

WITH A BOQUET IN HER HAND
AND HER FATHER BY HER SIDE
SMILING DOWN THE AILSE
TO THE MAN WHO'LL SHARE HER LIFE
THE MUSIC STARTS TO PLAY AND EVERYONE STANDS

YEARS HAVE A WAY OF SLIPPING BY
AND SOMETIMES SO DO DREAMS
AND LOVE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE
AT LEAST THAT'S HOW SHE HOPED IT WOULD BE

WITH A SUITCASE IN HER HAND
THE TAXI PULLS INTO THE DRIVE
A PART OF HER UNCERTAIN
IF LEAVING HIM IS RIGHT
FOR A MOMENT SHE HESITATES, THEN STEPS OUTSIDE
