Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh
Tommy worked in the back room
Stackin' up old letters
(Oh, Whoa, Oh, Whoa)
He never knew no classroom
Been workin' here since age ten
(Oh, Whoa, Oh, Whoa)
Until the day the boss offered up
The words he'll never forget
He said, I think it's time to move up son
Got a job I think you'd be perfect
But I gotta ask, do you think that you're ready
And I say
Yeah I'm ready
Ready as I'm ever gonna be
Yeah I'm ready
Ready for today and changin' everything
Oo, it's been a long time since we waited
What a long ride, but we made it
Yeah I'm ready
Ready as I'm ever gonna be
Then Tommy met his own match yeah
And now they're waitin' on babies
Now he worries all about math and
Just how the hell they gon' make it
But remembers how they both got this far
Working hard for that paper
Thankin' all of their lucky stars
And findin' out what faith is
And looking back the only thing that you can say is
Yeah I'm ready
Ready as I'm ever gonna be
Yeah I'm ready
Ready for today and changin' everything
Oo, it's been a long time since we waited
What a long ride, but we made it
Yeah I'm ready
Ready as I'm ever gonna be
Oh, Oh
We've come a long way
We're close we can taste it
Oh, Oh
'Cause we never lost faith
In the dreams we were chasing
Oh, Oh
I'm ready
Ready as I'm ever gonna be
Yeah I'm ready
Ready as I'm ever gonna be
Yeah I'm ready
Ready for today and changing everything
Oo, it's been a long time since we waited
What a long ride, but we made it
Yeah I'm ready
Ready as I'm ever gonna be
