Ready As I'll Never Be

Tanya Tucker

5

I felt you calling

I saw you start

From the old town movies to the bars on the boulevardThe bells where ringing

For gypsy soul

Straight to the smart mouth, little girl from Simeno

All you have lost

And the opera queens

They′re at those golden arms around the baby of the family

Just stand beside you then, was more than enough

I always was, and always will be looking up

So gather around now (Oooh)

It's time to sing

It′s bittersweet (Oooh) but it's hell of a silver lining

I tell the same old stories

Young at your wings

And I get better every time I kiss a weathered cheek

And watch doves fly

Sooner than me

I guess I'm ready, all ready as I′ll never be

The snow don′t follow Willcox

And the whipper will don't lie

All the chill 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

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 (Oooh) but it's hell of a silver lining

I tell the same old stories

Young at your wings

And I get better every time

But 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 your sunny sweet day

Woah happy day

Gather ′round now

It's time to sing

It′s bittersweet, but it's hell of a silver lining

I tell the same old stories

Young at 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 (Oooh)

Ready as I'll never be

I'm ready as I′ll never, be
