| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 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
|
| 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 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 too plain to see
|
| And I know that we’re ready
|
| So that’s alright with me
|
| That’s alright with me» |
