A Song Made for Miley

Ready, Set, Don't Go

What I think of Ready, Set, Don't Go

I think Ready, Set, Don't go is a wonderful yet sad song. I find it really toching that Billy Ray cyrus would dedicate a song to his daughter. That is just so wonderful. That is what I call some father- daughter bonding. Miley is so lucky to have a great dad like Billy Ray. I personally love the song Ready, Set, Don't Go. I like the music video. I really like the ending when they show Miley as a baby first learning to walk. The first time I saw the music video I cried. But those tears were mixed, both sad and happy. These days when I watch the music video it still makes me cry. I love the music video and the song. It's just really special. It is my favorite song by Billy Ray Cyrus.

Ready, Set, Don't Go Lyrics


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
Whatever they are
Looks like she's all ready to leave
Nothing left to pack
Ain't no room for me in that car
Even if she asked me to tag along
God I gotta be strong
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 apartI painted this big ol' smile on my face
To hide my broken heartIf 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 dreamsAnd 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 thatopen road
Baby get ready
Get set
Please don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Whoa....
She's gotta do what she's gotta do
She's gotta do what she's gotta do
