Lyrics

Better Be Ready

Verse: You Better Be Ready, ready to roll
When I pull up in front of your door
'Cause I ain?t waitin?, waitin? around
Honey I?m leavin? this town
I?m singin? a road song, and you can sing along
But, Oh, you?d better make up your mind
Because today?s the day I?m leavin?
I?m through with empty dreamin?
I?m shakin the dust off my shoes
I?m through with the blues
I?m leaving this town behind.

Chorus: Honey, stop your cryin?
Stop cryin? and take my hand
I ain?t spendin? thirty years dyin?
Like papa tryin?
To squeeze a livin? out o? this lifeless ol? land.

Verse: Solo
Today?s the day I?m leavin?
I?m through with empty dreamin?
I?m shakin the dust off my shoes
I?m through with the blues
I?m leaving this town behind.

Chorus: Too many dusty days
Too many crops to raise
There ain?t no reason to stay
There?s gotta be a better way
I?ll end up crazy dead in prison
If I?m not gone before tomorrow?s sun has risen.

Bridge: But baby if you don?t go
There?s one thing I want you to know
After all that we?ve been through
You?re a part of me, and baby, I?m a part of you.

Verse: So what are we waitin?, what are we waitin? for
Honey climb in and close the door
Roll down the window, let down your hair
Wherever the wind blows, we?ll be there
I?m singin? a love song, to the highway
And you?re singin? great harmony
Today?s the day we?re leavin?
We?re through with empty dreamin?
We?re shakin the dust off our shoes
We?re through with the blues
We?re leaving this town behind
