I've done my time alone I finally beat the blues
Heavens above I was ready for love oh but I wasn't ready for you
I crossed some shaky ground had some dreams fall through
Thought I was ready for something steady oh but I wasn't ready for you

I used to be a boy scout thought I knew all about keepin' myself prepared
After all that I'd seen I was ready for anything but then I saw you standin' there
Talk about your heavenly blessings talk about your dreams come true
I was feeling spiritual and ready for a miracle oh but I wasn't ready for you
[ guitar - fiddle ]
I used to be a boy scout...
I was feeling spiritual and ready for a miracle oh but I wasn't ready for you
