I'm Not Ready Yet (live)

George Jones · First Time Live [1985]

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 dyeing.

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.



(Spoken)

Yah 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 aint 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 dyeing.

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.
