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 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 [Chorus] Better you get ready Better you get ready Better you get ready On time You can shuck and jive your whole life through Go dancing even lose your shoes Relax, have a joke or two What'll happen you'll find someone new 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 [Chorus]
