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 kind of heavy
Naw, you're never ready for that

Start talking about 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 act tough, but your 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 kind of 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 kind of heavy
Naw, you're never ready for that

No, I wasn't ready for that
