Lyrics

I'm ready, ready as any man can be
I'm ready, ready as any man can be
You know I'm ready for you
And I hope you're ready for me
I got an axe-hounds pistol build on a graveyard frame
That shoots tombstone bullets somewhere and a ball and chain
I'm drinkin' TNT, you know, I'm smokin' dynamite
You know I hope some screwball start a fight
'Cause I'm ready, oh aha
You know I'm ready for you
And I hope you're ready for me
Say now you pretty little chicks with your curly hair
I know you feel just like I ain't nowhere
But stop what your doin' and baby come over here
You know I can prove to ya baby that I ain't no square
'Cause I'm ready, sure enough now
You know I'm ready for you
And I hope you're ready for me
Come on let's get together now
Say now you pretty little chicks come here with your curly hair
I know you feel just like I ain't nowhere
But stop what your doin' and baby come over here
You I can prove to ya baby that I ain't no square
'Cause I'm ready, sure enough now
You know I'm ready for you
And I hope you're ready for me
I've been drinkin' gin like never before
I feel so good, you know, I just gotta let you know
One more drink, you know and I wish you would
I takes a whole lotta lovin' to make me feel good
' Cause I'm ready, sure enough now
You know I'm ready for you
And I hope you're ready for me
Oh, I'm ready
Oh, I'm ready
Ohhhhooo Lord
You know I'm ready for you
And I hope you're ready for me
Yeah
