You wearing that black dress, coat, and cowboy boots

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

In the pouring rain, with the blue lights flashin', in the hills of appalachian

Close to tears with your makeup smeared, I asked you what had happened.

[Chorus]

But I know she ain't ready

She won't be for awhile

And he broke her down

When I'm around

I can see it in her smile

She's finally getting closer

It's just to 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 he made you look, you look the way it made you feel

So I said to you I sure like to do this one here

You said me too, but I'm just not over him.

[Chorus]

But I know she ain't ready

She won't be for awhile

And he broke her down

When I'm around

I can see it in her smile

She's finally getting closer

It's just to plain to see

And I know she ain't ready

But that's alright with me.

She started calling me baby, and two years later I was down on a 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 awhile

When the bells sound and you turn around

I'll be walking down the aisle

This will only bring us closer

It's just to plain to see

And I know that we're ready

So that's alright with me

That's alright with me.
