Lyrics: Patty Griffin. Children Running Through. Getting Ready.

Oh, baby, I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready to let you go
My hands shake, my heart's unsteady
Oh, how I once loved you so

I know all the magic's gone
Wish I had a magic wand
I would put a spell on you
You would see it as I do

Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go

Oh, baby, you were my drug
And I was just your cigarette
I was nothing you could be proud of
I have lost my self respect
Self respect, self respect
I have lost my self respect

Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready to let you go, I said

Baby, baby, I got no traction
I'm just waiting and waiting for your reaction
And so I try a new direction
I'm gonna give myself a resurrection
I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready to let you go

Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready to let you go, I said
