[Verse 1]
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
Well, you got to 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

[Verse 2]
Slippin' and a-slidin'
And playing domino
Lefting and then righting
It's not a crime, you know
Well, 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
