[Verse 1]
Little one done run out of money now, no, it doesn't seem to have a home
Left to fend for yourself in the wilderness, out there living life all alone

[Chorus]
Whenever you're ready, you could see a dream come true
Whenever you're ready, I'm just saying it's up to you
Whenever you're ready, things could start looking up
Whenever you're ready, take a big sip from the loving cup

[Verse 2]
Making that face carved out of stone, coping real hard with a losing hand
Sound of a dog choking on a chicken bone
It just can't be the way that you had things planned, my friend

[Chorus]
Whenever you're ready, yeah, yeah, things could start to happen real fast
Whenever you're ready, my good friend, sure we could get one built to last
Whenever you're ready, oh, we could get it done today
Whenever you're ready, sure enough you could come out and play

[Verse 3]
Cold, hot, ready or not, whatever you've got
What have you got to lose, my good friend?
Whenever you're ready, whenever you're ready, my good friend
