Story Behind the Song
For every Dad who ever took his little girl to school for the first time, taught her to ride a bike, gave her that first car, or walked her down the isle. And for every Mom.
Lyrics
I JUST WASN`T READY FOR THIS
Copyright 1998 Ron Patrick
First day of school, a new set of rules.
Lunch in a sack, books in a pack.
You looked back, I did too.
Then you disappeared, first day of school.
A brand new bike, all shiny and bright.
I held the wheels, while you got the feel.
Then you said "Daddy, you better let go."
And I watched you ride from the side of the road.
Release
But that`s life, that's the way it is.
It`ll get you by when nothing else will.
What`s meant to be will always pass the test.
But somehow I just wasn`t ready for this.
First set of wheels, what a big deal.
Got wet in the war washin` your car.
Boys in the back with turned around hats.
Somehow I just wasn`t ready for that.
You never know when they`ll be comin` back.
And somehow, I just wasn`t ready for that.
A long white dress, Boy, there`s something I missed.
Your Momma`s right, she`s gonna cry.
Two little rings, one huge wish.
But somehow I just wasn`t ready for this.
Release
But that`s life, that`s the way it is.
It`ll get you by when nothing else will.
What`s meant to be will always pass the test.
But somehow I just wasn`t ready for this.
