Ready For The End Of The World

(album: Somewhere Down In Texas - 2005)

I know the end is near...
I've seen the warning signs.
Been preparing myself,
Laying in supplies.
I bought a case of Jack,
A boxed-set of Merle...
I'm getting ready,
Ready for the end of the world.

I'm getting ready for the end to come...
That final hour it all comes undone.
An' she drops the bomb...
An' says he ain't my girl.
I'm getting ready,
Ready for the end of the world.

[Instrumental break]

My neon shelter waits,
Where I can go to hide.
While the memories burn,
I'll be safe inside.
With the honky-tonk few,
Bracing for the worst...
I'm getting ready,
Ready for the end of the world.

I'm getting ready for the end to come...
That final hour it all comes undone.
An' she drops the bomb...
An' says he ain't my girl.
I'm getting ready,
Ready for the end of the world.

Yeah, I'll be ready...
Ready for the end of the world.
