(Clint Daniels, Tony Martin)

I know the end is near
I've seen the warning signs
Been preparin' myself,
Layin' in supplies
I bought a case of Jack,
A box set of Merle
I'm gettin' ready,
Ready for the end of the world.

Chorus:
I'm gettin' ready for the end to come
That final hour it all comes undone
And she drops the bomb
And says she ain't my girl
I'm gettin' ready,
Ready for the end of the world.

--- Instrumental ---

My neon shelter waits,
Where I can go to hide
While the memories burn,
I'll be safe inside
With the honky-tonk few,
Bracin' for the worst
I'm gettin' ready,
Ready for the end of the world.

Chorus:
I'm gettin' ready for the end to come
That final hour it all comes undone
She drops the bomb
And says she ain't my girl
I'm gettin' ready,
Ready for the end of the world.

Yeah, I'll be ready
Ready for the end of the world...
