Are you ready
Ready to cry
Are you ready
Ready to cry
This is the saddest story we all know why
So cry cry cry
Are you ready
Ready to leave
This life we love
You know what I mean
No more whiskey
No more cigarettes
And your last breath just like a sunset
You know I love your old bones
I love your story but you're going home
Are you ready
Are you ready
Ready to die
Are you ready
Ready to die
Is there anything I can do
Cause saying goodbye to you
Will be the hardest thing I ever do
Don't worry buddy we'll see this thing through
I'll cry the river that carries you through
Are you ready
