(Clint Daniels and 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 boxed-set of Merle...
I'm gettin' ready,
Ready for the end of the world.

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

[Instrumental break]

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.

I'm gettin' ready for the end to come...
That final hour it all comes undone.
An' she drops the bomb...
An' says he 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.
