Are You Ready For The Country Lyrics

Waylon Jennings

Verse 1:
Slippin' & a-slidin', playin' Dominos
Leftin' & a-rightin' ain't a crime, you know
Well, I gotta tell the story before it's time to go

CHORUS:
Are you ready for the country?
Are you ready for me?
Are you ready for the country?
Ain't that a sight to see?

Verse 2:
Talkin' to a preacher, said God was on his side
Talkin' to a butcher, they both were sellin' hide
Well, I gotta tell the story, boys,
I don't know the reason why

Chorus

Are you ready for the country?
Are you ready for me?
Better get ready for the country
Ready for me

Are you ready for the country?
Ready for me?
Are you ready for the country?
Ain't that a sight to see?
