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)
