Written by Tom T. Hall
(As performed by George Jones)
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
(Chorus:)
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)
