When Dixie Chicks had their breakthrough into country music scene in the late 1990’s, they immediately gained commercial success. The group had been active since the early 1990’s, but performed as a bluegrass group. The quartet became a trio in the late 1990’s when Natalie Maines joined the band as the lead singer, and their new sound plunged them into fame.

Fly was the second album released by Dixie Chicks after Maines joined the band, and like Wide Open Spaces, saw great success.

The song tells of a young woman who is “ready to run” from a wedding, so she can continue her life and be independent.

Ready to Run Lyrics

When the train rolls by
I’m gonna be ready this time
When the boy gets that look in his eye
I’m gonna be ready this time
When my momma says I look good in white
I’m gonna be ready this time

Oh yeah
Ready, ready, ready, ready…ready to run
All I’m ready to do is have some fun
What’s all this talk about love

I feel the wind blow through my hair
I’m gonna be ready this time
I’ll buy a ticket to anywhere
I’m gonna be ready this time
You see it feels like I’m starting to care
And I’m going to be ready this time

Oh yeah
Ready, ready, ready, ready…ready to run
All I’m ready to do is have some fun
What’s all this talk about love

I’m ready to run…I’m ready to run

Oh
Ready, ready, ready, ready…ready to run
All I’m ready to do is have some fun
What’s all this talk about love
I’m ready to run
I’m ready to run
I’m ready to run
I’m ready to run…ready to run…
ready to run…yeah I’m ready to run. I’m ready
Whoa I’m ready to run…I’m ready…I’m ready to run…
I’m ready to run…I’m ready
Oh I’m ready to run..I’m ready.
