Lyrics
Ready to Meet Me
(Claire Ulanoff/Will Hopkins/Ellen Britton)
I was backwoods raised in Cajun mud
Luziana crude running through my blood
Running wild, screwin' up
Nothing but trouble that's what I was
That's a part of me I just can't shake
A wild streak you can't wash away
Fighting, cussing, drinking
Lately, it's got me thinking
I'll always be a little too rough, a little too proud
I'll always say a little too much when I open my big mouth
I don't claim to be a saint but if I die today
I'm ready to meet my maker
But I have to wonder...is he ready to meet me
I've run red hot, gone stone cold
Been booked and printed, bought and sold
I've been on the wagon, fell off it
Drawn the line, and then I crossed it
Took a bullet in my chest
Felt the thrill when it hit me I wasn't dead
So when I get to them Pearly Gates
St. Peter get out of the way
(chorus)
'cause
(chorus)
