I Know She Ain't Ready

You were wearing that black dress, coat, and cowboy boots

He was there but I didn't care, too busy staring at you

In the pouring rain with the blue

Lights flashing in the hills of Appalachian

Close to tears with makeup smeared, I asked her what had happened

But I know she ain't ready, she won't be for a while

And he broke her down and when I'm around, I can see it in her smile

She's fighting getting closer, it's just too plain to see

And I know she ain't ready, but that's alright with me

You wearing that red dress, pearls, and those high heels

Like the way it made you look, you love the way it made you feel

So I said to you, I'd sure love to do this again

And you said, me too, but I'm just not over him

And I know she ain't ready, she won't be for a while

And he broke her down and when I'm around, I can see it in her smile

She's fighting getting closer, it's just too plain to see

And I know she ain't ready, but that's alright with me

She started calling me baby

And two years laterM I was down on one knee

With a ring in hand, I said, "I'm your man and girl, will you marry me?"

She said, "You know that I'm ready, and I have been for a while

When the bells sound and you turn around

I'll be walking down the aisle"

This will only bring us closer, it's just too plain to see

And I know that we're ready, so that's alright with me

That's alright with me
