You wearing that black dress, coat, and cowboy boots
 He was there, but I didn't care, to 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 a while
 And he broke her down
 When I'm around
 I can see it in her smile
 She's finally getting closer
 It's just too plain to see
 And I know she ain't ready
 But that's alright with me

 You wearing that red dress, pearls, and those high heels
 Like the way he made you look, you look the way it made you feel
 So I said to you I sure love to do this one here
 You said me too, but I'm just not over him
 But I know she ain't ready
 She won't be for a while
 And he broke her down
 When I'm around
 I can see it in her smile
 She's finally getting closer
 It's just too plain to see
 And I know she ain't ready
 But that's alright with me

 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 a while
 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
