[Verse 1]

You were wearing that black dress

Coat, and cowboy boots

He was there, but I didn't care

I was too busy staring at you

[Pre-Chorus 1]

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 1]

But I know she ain't ready

She won't be for awhile

And he broke her down

And when I'm around

I can see it in her smile

She's fightin' getting closer

It's just too plain to see

And I know she ain't ready

But that's alright with me

[Verse 2]

You were wearing that red dress

Pearls, and those high heels

Liked the way it made you look

You love the way it made you feel

[Pre-Chorus 2]

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"

[Chorus 1]

And I know she ain't ready

She won't be for awhile

And he broke her down

And when I'm around

I can see it in her smile

She's fightin' getting closer

It's just too plain to see

And I know she ain't ready

But that's alright with me, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 3]

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?"

[Chorus 2]

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"
