[Verse 1]
Slippin' and a-slidin' and playing domino
Lefting and then righting, it's not a crime, you know
You got to tell your story, boy
Before it's time to go

[Chorus]
Are you ready for the country?
Because it's time to go
Are you ready for the country?
Because it’s time to go

[Verse 2]
I was talking to the preacher, said God was on my side
Then I ran into the hangman, he said. "It's time to die
You gotta tell your story, boy
You know the reason why"

[Chorus]
Are you ready for the country?
Because it’s time to go
Are you ready for the country?
Because it’s time to go
