ROUGH AND READY
Star of stage and screen
Live and well on the pop scene
You know your number's due
A teenage fantasy come true

Rough and you're ready
Rough and you're ready
I said you're rough and you're ready
Oh you're rough, tough
Rough, tough, rough

Waiting' long long time
Breakin' through's been on my mind
Ain't nothin nothin' holding me back
you can see now
Finally finally, finally found the right track

Rough and you're ready
Oh you're rough and you're ready
I said you're rough and you're ready
Oh you're rough, tough
Rough, tough, rough

Sick sick of takin' a back seat
Takin' a back street
Playing it cool
I'm sick sick sick of bein' mistreated
Bein' defeated
And playing the fool

I'm rough and ready
I said I'm rough and ready
Oh I'm rough and ready
I said I'm rough and ready

Know my time has come
Know just where it's comin' from
I'm bursting at the seams
Livin' out my wildest dreams

Rough and ready
I said rough and ready
Oh rough and ready
I said rough and ready
Oh rough and ready
I said rough and ready

Garland's music rocks with the best and is truly timeless....never got the respect and airplay he deserved.

This is probably my favorite JG song of all times, thanks for posting ; D

What more could you ask for - Garland and a big chunk of The Rumour. Bruising!
