Getting Ready - Patty Griffin

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

My self-respect

My 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

Baby, baby, we got no traction

I’m just waiting and waiting for your reaction

So I try a new direction

I’m going to 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
