Ready To Fall

Fairchild Shelly


You're hot as a desert 
Hell in a sheet 
Home's anywhere you lay your feet 
Your heart is full of 
Tumbleweed and brimstone 

Whisper in your whiskey 
Late at night 
You might fool an untrained eye 
But I know what you need 
Someone to depend on 

Hey, I can be tender 
I can be sweet 
I can sweep the Devil 
Off his red hot feet 
Oh, I do love dancin' 
Down a hardwood hall 
Hey I'll be a huckleberry hell cat too 
Run a 100 miles backward in them boots 
When your tough gets tired 
Baby, give me a call 
See, I can tell by the way you walk 
You're ready to fall 

Hard like a hammer 
Fit like a glove 
47 different shades of love 
Don't you think it's time 
To try one on 

Oh, you and Custer 
Fools of a feather 
Hide behind them hides of leather 
You'll throw up that white flag 
Before too long 

See, I can be tender 
I can be sweet 
I can sweep the Devil 
Off his red hot feet 
Oh, I do love dancin' 
Down a hardwood hall 
Hey I'll be a huckleberry hell cat too 
Run a 100 miles backward in your boots 
When your tough gets tired 
Baby, give me a call 
See, I can tell by the way you talk 
You're ready to fall 

Hey, na na na na na la na 
La na na na na na na 
Na na na na na na na na na naw 

Hey, oo la na na 
Oo Oo Oo 
De da na na na na na 
Na na na na na na na na na 

Maybe it's the liquor 
Maybe it's the night 
Maybe it's the way your face holds light 
Maybe it's the music 
Maybe it's lust 
Maybe you're a diamond 
Maybe you're dust 
Maybe I'm the woman 
Maybe you're the man 
Maybe we'll crawl 
Maybe we'll stand 
Maybe your heart's like Jericho's Wall 
Call me Joshua 
Ready to fall 

Hey I can be tender 
I can be sweet 
I can sweep the Devil 
Off his red hot feet 
Oh, I do love dancin' 
Down a hardwood hall 
Hey I'll be a huckleberry hell cat too 
Run a 100 miles backward in them boots 
When your tough gets tired 
Baby, give me a call 
Hey, I can tell by the way you walk 
You're ready to fall 

Hey, I can tell by the way you walk 
You're ready to fall 
You're ready to fall, yeah 

Whisper in your whiskey 
Late at night 
You might fool an untrained eye 
But I know what you need 
Someone to depend on
