Getting Ready To Get Down-Josh Ritter[00:00:00]

Mama got a look at you [00:00:17]

and got a little worried[00:00:18]

Papa got a look at you [00:00:19]

and got a little worried[00:00:21]

Pastor got a look and said, [00:00:22]

"Ya'll had better hurry"[00:00:23]

Send her off to a little [00:00:24]

bible college in Missouri[00:00:25]

And now you come back sayin' [00:00:26]

you know a little bit about[00:00:27]

Everything they ever seemed [00:00:29]

to hope you'd never figure out[00:00:30]

Eve ate the apple 'cause the apple was sweet[00:00:31]

What kinda god would ever keep a girl[00:00:33]

From getting what she needs?[00:00:34]

And I'm getting ready to get down[00:00:37]

Getting ready to get down[00:00:39]

Getting ready to get down[00:00:41]

Now people cross the street [00:00:44]

when you walk in their direction[00:00:45]

Talk between their teeth throwin' epithets[00:00:46]

And the doctor thinks a devil [00:00:49]

musta got you by your senses[00:00:50]

But to live the way you please [00:00:51]

doesn't sound like possession[00:00:52]

Four long years studyin' the Bible[00:00:53]

Infidels, jezebels, salomes, and delilahs[00:00:55]

Back off the bus in your own home town[00:00:58]

Sayin' you didn't like me [00:01:00]

then probably won't like me now[00:01:01]

But I'm getting ready to get down[00:01:04]

Getting ready to get down[00:01:06]

Getting ready to get down[00:01:08]

The men of the country club[00:01:11]

The ladies of the 'xilliary[00:01:12]

Talkin' 'bout love[00:01:13]

Like it's apple pie and libery[00:01:14]

To really be a saint[00:01:15]

You gotta really be a virgin[00:01:16]

Dry as a page of the[00:01:18]

King James Version[00:01:19]

No ohh la la's, no oh yesses yesses[00:01:20]

No I can't waits I got to see you againses[00:01:22]

Turn your other cheek and take no chances[00:01:24]

Jesus hates your high school dances[00:01:27]

They said your soul needed savin' [00:01:47]

so they sent you off to bible school[00:01:48]

But you know a little more than [00:01:49]

they were sure was in the golden rule[00:01:50]

Be good to everybody, [00:01:52]

be a strength to the weak[00:01:52]

A joy to the joyful, [00:01:54]

the laughter in the grief[00:01:55]

And give your love freely [00:01:56]

to whoever that you please[00:01:57]

Don't let nobody tell you 'bout [00:01:58]

who you oughta be[00:01:59]

And when you get damned [00:02:00]

in the popular opinion[00:02:01]

It's just another damn of the damns [00:02:03]

you're not giving[00:02:04]

I'm getting ready to get down[00:02:07]

Getting ready to get down[00:02:09]

Getting ready to get down[00:02:11]

Mama got a look at you [00:02:14]

and got a little worried[00:02:15]

Papa got a look at you [00:02:16]

and got a little worried[00:02:17]

Pastor got a look and said, [00:02:18]

"Ya'll had better hurry"[00:02:19]

Send her off to a little [00:02:21]

bible college in Missouri[00:02:22]

And now you come back sayin' [00:02:23]

you know a little bit about[00:02:24]

Everything they ever seemed [00:02:25]

to hope you'd never figure out[00:02:26]

The Red Sea, the Dead Sea, [00:02:27]

the Sermon on the Mount[00:02:28]

If you wanna see a miracle watch me get down[00:02:29]

Cause I'm getting ready to get down[00:02:34]

Getting ready to get down[00:02:36]

Getting ready to get down[00:02:38]

Cause I'm getting ready to get down[00:02:42]

Getting ready to get down[00:02:45]

Getting ready to get down[00:02:47]
