I Know She Ain't Ready

You wearing that black dress

Coat and cowboy boots

He was there, but I didn't care

I was too busy staring at you

In the pouring rain with the blue lights flashing

In the hills of Appalachia

Close to tears with your make-up smeared

I asked you what had happened

But I know she ain't ready

She won't be for a while

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 were wearing that red dress

Pearls and those high heels

I 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

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, yeah

She started calling me baby

And two years later, 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'll 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
