George Jones - I'm Not Ready Yet Lyrics






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.

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 ain't 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.

  49. W.... T....

    Yes, just noticed that, some 'April', some spring . . . he did go entirely, his music is still here.

  50. w.... d....

    R.I.P. GEORGE JONES :`(

  60. C.... E....

    CANT LIVE WITH EM, CANT LIVE WITHOUT THEM! POSSUM!

  61. O.... ....

    miss him? he isn't passed ..still sings

  62. v.... d....

    Great song

  63. B.... G....

    I agree...heart and soul in their music. As George would say....that is the cold hard truth!

  64. M.... R....

    This song has no meaning in mine and my wifes relationship...but to hold her close while we danced and assure her that I could never leave or be without her. My heart was never ready, even when she passed away after 51 years. I'd give anything to hold her now and say " I'm still around cause I'm not ready yet." My love for her will never die. Some day I'll go but I will be joining her on the other side. What a day that will be. I'm still around honey and still as in love as the day we met.

  65. s.... ....

    George and others like Tammy, Merle, etc lived their music. People like Garth and Shania etc was told to record country music by managers when they didn't make it as Pop and Rock singers.

  66. b.... ....

    Country at it's finest. Not the empty crap we have today that started abount 1990 when a certain guy put on a cowboy hat and started smashing guitars. Garth had never even smelled horse manure let alone scoop it

  67. N.... G....

    "you know I must have left you a hundred times, but you don't know it yet-" Why we can't just turn off our feelings I'll never know, cause I'm not ready yet

  68. J.... W....

    long live the possum

  69. m.... m....

    maigar@ After 20 years we were not ready I left dec 20 2010 I was ready and I left.



    Maigar@ After 20 years of not being together I was ready to leave, and Ileft




  70. m.... m....

    maigar@ After 20 years we were not ready I left dec 20 2010 I was ready and I left.








  71. A.... F....

    georgr is the best ever he tears your heart out when he sings i dont think anybody can fill his shoes

  72. g.... ....

    Ain't nobody better. Even Sinatra loved him. That's how it's done, son!
