Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slippin' and 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 talkin' 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
[Verse 3]
I was talkin' 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
