Ready When It Comes

She wakes up some days life is cruel She's on a chain gang sittin' in a typing pool And her brain feels all dragged down The gossip flies, the coffee's stale She wants to run outside and scream like hell 'Til it turns her luck around Doesn't matter how insane it gets She's got one dream and her sights set, she says I'm just waitin' for it I'm just makin' sure that my heart's steady as a drum Brighter days are dawninMy faith's holding strong, and I'll be ready when it comes He drives around the block a thousand times He can't go home 'til he clears his mind And his supper's cold by now The doctor's words crash through his ears About a treatment plan and a lot of years He will live to see somehow He gathers all his friends and family He says, wrap your lovin' arms around me
