I'm Not Ready Yet — George Jones

Written by Tom T. Hall

Well I 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

Yeah now 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 I'll leave someday, but I'm not ready yet

(Spoken:) Yeah now 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

(Repeat chorus)
