Ready for the End of the World
Embracing Fate: George Strait's Prophetic Ballad
Lyrics
I know the end is near
I acknowledge that the end is approaching.
I've seen the warning signs
I've observed indications or signals forewarning of the impending end.
Been preparin' myself
I've been getting myself ready.
Layin' in supplies
I've been stockpiling necessary items.
I bought a case of Jack
I purchased a case of Jack Daniel's whiskey.
A boxed-set of Merle
I acquired a boxed set of music by Merle Haggard.
I'm gettin' ready
I am in the process of preparing.
Ready for the end of the world
I am preparing for the impending apocalypse or catastrophe.
I'm gettin' ready for the end to come
I am making arrangements for the end to arrive.
That final hour it all comes undone
Refers to the final moment when everything falls apart.
An' she drops the bomb
Describes a significant event, possibly a revelation or shocking news.
An' says he ain't my girl
A revelation that someone is not what they seemed to be.
I'm gettin' ready
I am in the process of getting ready.
Ready for the end of the world
I am preparing for the impending end of the world.
My neon shelter waits
Refers to a safe place with neon lights where one can take refuge.
Where I can go to hide
A place to hide from the impending disaster.
While the memories burn
While memories are destroyed or lost, I'll be safe inside my shelter.
I'll be safe inside
Expresses a sense of security inside the shelter.
With the honky-tonk few
Refers to people in the shelter preparing for the worst.
Bracin' for the worst
Bracing oneself for the most unfavorable outcome.
I'm gettin' ready
I am in the process of preparing.
Ready for the end of the world.
I am preparing for the impending end of the world.
I'm gettin' ready for the end to come
I am making arrangements for the end to arrive.
That final hour it all comes undone
Refers to the final moment when everything falls apart.
An' she drops the bomb
Describes a significant event, possibly a revelation or shocking news.
An' says he ain't my girl
A revelation that someone is not what they seemed to be.
I'm gettin' ready
I am in the process of getting ready.
Ready for the end of the world
I am preparing for the impending end of the world.
Yeah, I'll be ready
Expressing readiness for the end of the world.
Ready for the end of the world
Prepared for the impending apocalypse or catastrophe.
