Hit The Ground Running Lyrics

Hit the ground
Hit the ground running

It's a one way street with an open end
And you never know what lies ahead
But I always knew that this was it
The signs were lit, oh, I always knew

I'm an overdrive, gonna play offense
And I won't look back, there'll be no regrets
I'll keep my head up, even if I'm fed up
'Cause I'm getting closer, oh, I know, oh, I know

I'll be ready when the moment comes
Only waited for the marching drums
I'll be ready when the moment comes

It's a one way street with an open end
And you never know what lies ahead
But I always knew that this was it
The signs were lit, oh, I always knew

I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running
Only waited for the marching drums
I'll be ready when the moment comes
I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running
Only waited for the marching drums
I'll be ready when the moment comes
I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running
Only waited for the marching drums
I'll be ready when the moment comes
I'm gonna hit the ground running, hit the ground running
Only waited for the marching drums
I'll be ready when the moment comes

Trouble in Paradise

No Roots

I Don't Hold A Grudge

Hit the ground
Hit the ground running

It's a one way street with an open end
And you never know what lies ahead
But I always knew that this was it
The signs were lit, oh, I always knew

I'm an overdrive, gonna play offense
And I won't look back, there'll be no regrets
I'll keep my head up, even if I'm fed up
'Cause I'm getting closer, oh, I know, oh, I know

I'll be ready when the moment comes
Only waited for the marching drums
I'll be ready when the moment comes

It's a one way street with an open end
And you never know what lies ahead
But I always knew that this was it
The signs were lit, oh, I always knew

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
