Never Ready

College town, freshman love

You start thinking she might be the one

So you call her dad, start saving up

You blink an eye, now you're all tux'd up

You've been practicing "I do"

But when she says it back to you

You're never ready for that kinda hit you outta left field

Naw, you never saw it coming, how it'd make you feel

Seeing your blue jean baby in a white dress

Trying to act tough, but you're a train wreck

It's a half smile, half cry, change your whole life feeling that'll stop you in your tracks

People talk about it, and you thought about it

But that kinda heavy, naw, you're never ready for that

Start talking 'bout a couple kids

But we both think it's best to wait on it

'Cause broke as hell just ain't the time

Till she hands you two pink lines

You're never ready for that kinda hit you outta left field

Naw, you never saw it coming, how it'd make you feel

Seeing the nurse put your baby on her mama's chest

Trying to act tough, but you're a train wreck

It's a half smile, half cry, change your whole life feeling that'll stop you in your tracks

People talk about it, and you thought about it

But that kinda heavy, naw, you're never ready for that

Naw, you're never ready for that

Time speeds up, and your parents slow down

Yeah, they always took care of you

But it's your turn now

You're never ready for that kinda hit you outta left field

Naw, you never saw it coming, how it'd make you feel

Holding your old man's hand for his last breath

Trying to act tough, but you're a train wreck

It's a half smile, half cry, change your whole life feeling that'll stop you in your tracks

People talk about it, and you thought about it

But nothing gets you ready

Damn, I wasn't ready for that kinda heavy

Naw, you're never ready for that

No, I wasn't ready for that
