Never Ready

College town, freshman love
You start thinkin' 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
No, you never saw it coming, how it'd make you feel?
Seein' your blue jean baby in a white dress
Tryna 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, no, you're never ready for that

Start talkin' 'bout a couple kids
But we both think it's best to wait on it
'Cause broke as hell just ain't the time (ain't the time)
'Til she hands you two pink lines

You're never ready for that kinda hit, you outta left field
No, you never saw it coming, how it'd make you feel?
Seeing the nurse put your baby on her mama's chest
Tryna 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, no, you're never ready for that
No, you're never ready for that, ah

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
No, 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
No, you're never ready for that

No, I wasn't ready for that
