Story behind the song
In a dream I saw a CD cover with silver script on an orange-ish background with the words "Rough but Ready." I then had to write a song with that title, didn't I?
Lyrics
ROUGH BUT READY By Dwight Lakey Intro Verse 1 The road’s been rough and uphill all the way But we’re all suited-up and we’re set to play We sometimes start out slow,but at least we’re cool and steady We may have started rough…but we’re ready Chorus Rough but Ready; let the fun begin Rough but Ready; may the best team win If you can’t stand the heat…run back to bed to your ted--dy We may look rough to you…but we’re ready Verse 2 The going’s gettin’ tough; it’s lookin’ dim But we’re still full of vinegar and vim You may have started strong…you’re confident and head--y When things start gettin’ tough…the tough get ready Chorus Rough but Ready; let the fun begin Rough but Ready; may the best team win If you can’t stand the heat…run back to bed to your ted—dy We may look rough to you…but we’re ready Bridge We may be underdogs and the odds are long But ain’t it fun to prove those critics wrong? Solo …….. If you can’t stand the heat…run back to bed to your ted--dy We may look rough to you…but we’re ready Chorus Coda Don’t let our looks deceive…we’re ready We may be lookin’ rough…but we’re ready Outro
