Ready and Willing (Acoustic)

I defied the odds

Dead end cul-de-sacs

Gridded streets that felt like jail

A maze of palm trees, led to nowhere

Built my own boat so I could sail

They said "you won’t make it

You’re just wasting all your time"

But I’ve got no patience

And hate to stand in lines

Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to take you on

Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to lose it all

I search the channels to find stations

I used to watch when I was young

Only to find a reality that’s fine

Settling for dumb

There’s no more heroes

No one showing us the way

So I sift through my old 45's

To remind mysеlf

Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to take you on

Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to losе it all

Oh, oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to take you on

Oh, I’m ready and I’m willing to lose it all

When my back goes out, I’ll know I did it all

And have stories to tell

When my eyes go bad, I’ll know I’ve seen it all

They’ll be light when my vision fails

My legs will go bad

But I walked 5 continents

So I won’t need to stand

I hope this life I lived will wake you up

So you could do it again

Oh, oh, are you ready, are you willing to take it on

Oh, oh, are you ready, are you willing to lose it all

Oh, oh, are you ready, are you willing to take it on

Oh, oh, are you ready, are you willing to lose it all
