Getting Ready to Get Down Josh Ritter

[Verse 1]
Mama got a look at you and got a little worried
Papa got a look at you and got a little worried
The pastor got a look and said, "Y'all had better hurry;
Send her off to a little Bible college in Missouri"

[Verse 2]
And now you come back, saying you know a little bit about
Every little thing they ever hoped you'd never figure out
Eve ate the apple cause the apple was sweet
What kinda God would ever keep a girl from getting what she needs?

[Chorus]
And I'm
Getting ready to get down
Getting ready to get down
Getting ready to get down

[Verse 3]
Now, people cross the street when you walk in their direction
Talk between their teeth and throwin' epithets
And the doctor thinks the devil must've got you by your senses
But to live the way you please doesn't sound like possession

[Verse 4]
It's four long years studying the Bible
Infidels, Jezebels, Salomes and Delilahs
Back off the bus in your own hometown
Say "you didn't like me then, you probably won't like me now"
