Better You Get Ready

You can drink your broken heart to sleep
Get a message that your soul's to keep
Before you fall into a hole too deep
Or get a notion that you can't be beat, no
Try to wipe out each and every mile
Get twisted in your own good style
You're not arrested, don't you go on trial
You better get it on down that Nile

Better you get ready
Better you get ready
Better you get ready on time
Better you get ready
Better you get ready
Better you get ready on time

You can shuck and jive your whole life through
Go dancin', even lose your shoes
Relax, have a joke or two
What'll happen? You'll find someone new, yeah
Talk softly when you need to pray
It's not for me to really say
I know you're gonna go your way
Heaven knows I only wish you'd stay

Better you get ready
Better you get ready
Better you get ready on time
Better you get ready
Better you get ready
Better you get ready on time

Oh, better you get ready
Better you get ready
Better you get ready on time
Oh, better you get ready
Better you get ready
You get ready on time, oh...

(Get ready, get ready, get ready)
Better you get ready
Better you get ready
You get ready...
