George Jones - I'm Not Ready Yet Lyrics

George Jones Lyrics

"I'm Not Ready Yet"

I've always said someday
I was gonna leave you
Some April when all the land is wet
Some spring, summer, fall or maybe winter
I'll leave someday but I'm not ready yet

I know I should of left the day
I knew your love was dying
But I passed up every date
That I ever set
But I know I'll leave
When my heart tells me it's ready
But I'm still around, but I'm not ready yet

You know I must have left you
A hundred times but you don't know that
'Cause I was afraid you'd laugh
When you found out just how far I'd get
But you didn't, and you don't
I know you ain't gonna ever
And someday I'll go, but I'm not ready yet

I know I should of left the day
I knew your love was dying
But I passed up every date
That I ever set
But I know I'll leave
When my heart tells me Lord willing
But I'm still around, but I'm not ready yet
But I'm still around, 'Cause I'm not ready yet
