Ready As I'll Never Be

I felt you calling I saw you start From the old town movies to the bars on the boulevard The bells were ringing For a gypsy soul Straight to the smart mouthed, little girl from Simeno All you outlaws And the opry queens They wrap those golden arms around the baby of the family To stand beside you then, was more than enough I always was, and always will be looking up So gather around now (ooh) It's time to sing It's bittersweet (ooh) but it's a hell of a silver lining I tell the same old stories As y'all get your wings And I get better every time I kiss a weathered cheek And watching doves fly Sooner than me I guess I'm ready, ready as I'll never be The snow don't fall on Wilcox And the whip-poor-will don't lie Are the two things you can count on And if you blink you're gonna miss it twice Even if I saw it coming, even if I wanted to You're just going to the one place left, that I can't follow you So gather 'round now It's time to sing It's bittersweet (ooh) but it's a hell of a silver lining I tell the same old stories Y'all get your wings And I get better every time Well, I don't know Ain't' no debts to repay Even if you're light years away May the circle be unbroken Let it break through you, one sweet day Woah, happy days Gather 'round now It's time to sing It's bittersweet, but it's a hell of a silver lining I tell the same old stories Y'all get your wings And I get better every time I kiss a weathered cheek And watching doves fly Sooner than me I guess I'm ready (ooh) Ready as I'll never be I'm ready as I'll never, be
