I Know She Aint Ready

I Know She Aint Ready
Luke Combs Lyrics

But I know she ain't ready
She won't be for awhile
And he broke her down

You wearing that red dress, pearls, and those high heels
Like the way it made you look, you love the way it made you feel
So I said to you, "I'd sure love to do this again"
And you said, "Me too, but I'm just not over him"

But I know she ain't ready
She won't be for awhile
And he broke her down
And 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, yeah

She started calling me baby, and two years later I was down on a 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

Luke Combs’s song “I Know She Ain’t Ready” is a poignant track that talks about the pain and healing of a woman who just got out of an abusive relationship. The song describes two scenes; one where the singer sees her in her black dress, coat, and cowboy boots, and the other where she’s in a red dress, pearls, and high heels. Both scenes showcase a woman who’s troubled and visibily not ready to move on from an abusive relationship.

However, throughout the song, the singer, who is in love with her, assures her that it’s alright not to be ready. He knows she’s hurting, and he’s willing to wait until she’s fully healed. He knows that the wounds caused by her previous lover will take time to heal, and he’s prepared to be there for her throughout that healing process.

Overall, the song “I Know She Ain’t Ready” is a testament to the power of a love that’s patient and understanding. It underscores the importance of being there for a loved one during tough times, even if it means sticking around during the aftermath of past traumas.

You wearing that black dress, coat, and cowboy boots
I saw you in a stunning black dress with a coat and cowboy boots

He was there but I didn't care, I was too busy staring at you
Even though he was around, I couldn't take my eyes off you

In the pouring rain, with the blue lights flashin', in the hills of Appalachian
We were together in Appalachian hills, with blue lights flashing, and it was raining heavily

Close to tears with your makeup smeared, I asked you what had happened
You were about to cry, with smeared makeup, and I inquired what had gone wrong

But I know she ain't ready
I understood that you were not ready

She won't be for awhile
It would take some time for you to be ready

And he broke her down
I knew that he had hurt you

And when I'm around
I sensed it every time I was with you

I can see it in her smile
I could tell from your smile that you were still in pain

She's finally getting closer
Gradually, you were making progress

It's just too plain to see
It was quite evident

But that's alright with me
But it didn't matter to me

You wearing that red dress, pearls, and those high heels
I saw you looking gorgeous in a red dress, pearls, and high heels

Like the way it made you look, you love the way it made you feel
It seemed like you loved the way it made you feel and look

So I said to you, "I'd sure love to do this again"
I expressed my desire to repeat this experience with you

And you said, "Me too, but I'm just not over him"
You also wished to do it again, but you were still not over him

She started calling me baby, and two years later I was down on a knee
Eventually, you started calling me baby, and after two years, I proposed

With a ring in hand, I said "I'm your man, and girl, will you marry me?"
I proposed to you with a ring in hand, saying that I am your man, and seek your hand in marriage

She said you know that I'm ready
You responded that you were indeed ready

And I have been for a while
You had been ready for some time

When the bells sound and you turn around
At the moment of our wedding, when the bells sound, and you turn around

I'll be walking down the aisle
You would be walking down the aisle towards me

This will only bring us closer
This moment would bring us even closer

That's alright with me
And I am okay with that
