[Verse 1]

You left the stage before the song was done

Slipped out the party before the lights came on

Just when things were gettin' good

You left us all right where we stood


[Chorus]

I'm not ready to let you go

I'm not ready to just move on

I'm not ready to miss missin' you

Hell, I can't believe you're gone

Still pour a shot with your name on it

Backstage at every show

I'm standing but I ain't steady

My heart's still heavy

No, I ain't ready

Ready to let you go


[Verse 2]

I bet you're up there somewhere rollin' one (Ha-ha)

While we're all down here barely holdin' on

Missin' the low end, missin' our best friend

I know I'll meet you when the road ends


[Chorus]

But I'm not ready to let you go

I'm not ready to just move on

I'm not ready to miss missin' you

Hell, I can't believe you're gone

Still pour a shot with your name on it

Backstage at every show

I'm standing but I ain't steady

My heart's still heavy

No, I ain't ready

Ready to let you go


[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, not ready to let you go


[Bridge]

I keep drinkin', tryin' not to cry

Raisin' one for you tonight


[Chorus]

I'm not ready to let you go

I'm not ready to just move on

I'm not ready to miss missin' you

Hell, I can't believe you're gone

Still pour a shot with your name on it

Backstage at every show

I'm standing but I ain't steady

My heart's still heavy

No, I ain't ready


[Outro]

I might of had one too many

I still feel empty

'Cause I ain't ready

Ready to let you go

Ooh
