I’m ready… ready as anybody can be
I’m ready… ready as anybody can be
Now I’m ready for you
I hope you’re ready for me
I got an axe handle pistol on a graveyard frame
That shoot tombstone bullets… wearing balls and chain
I’m drinking TNT… I’m smoking dynamite
I hope some screwball start a fight
‘Cause I’m ready… ready as anybody can be
I’m ready for you… I hope you’re ready for me
All you pretty little chicks with your pretty little hair
I know you feel like I ain’t nowhere
But stop what you’re doing baby come over here
I’ll prove to you baby… that I ain’t no square
Because I’m ready… ready as anybody can be
Now I’m ready for you… I hope you’re ready for me
I been drinking gin like never before
I feel so good… I want you to know
One more drink… I wish you would
I am taking a whole lotta loving to make me feel good
‘Cause I’m ready… ready as anybody can be
Now I’m ready for you… I hope you’re ready for me
Bold Confidence and Electric Energy
“I’m Ready” by Aerosmith pulses with the swagger and bravado that fans have come to expect from the legendary band. The lyrics paint a picture of someone brimming with anticipation and unshakable confidence, ready to take on any challenge that comes their way. References to drinking TNT and smoking dynamite evoke a sense of explosive energy, while the playful taunts toward potential rivals and romantic interests add a layer of rebellious charm. The narrator’s invitation—”I hope you’re ready for me”—is both a boast and a warning, making it clear that they’re a force to be reckoned with.
