Somebody New (Ready When They Come)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I gave you my summers my Sundays my spare change

Every little promise I could rearrange

I hauled your baggage up a gravel driveway

And you never once asked if I was okay

So I'm packing up the porch swing

Trading my old ring for a little breathing room

I ain't crying I'm just watering the garden

Where something better's gonna bloom

[Pre-Chorus]

I ain't bitter I ain't broken

I'm just done

I ain't waiting on your shadow

When the morning's just begun

[Chorus]

I'm setting the table for somebody new

I'm learning to dance with a different tune

I gave it all away

Now I'm saving up my heart

I'm setting the table for somebody new

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh oh-oh

Ready when they come

Oh-oh oh-oh

Ready when they come

[Verse 2]

I washed the windshield of my daddy's old truck

Threw out the letter that said better luck

Learned how to cook for just one plate again

Slept through the night without wondering when

When you'd come home

When you'd come home

Now I wake up early just to watch the light

And I like the quiet I like it fine

[Pre-Chorus]

I ain't hollow I ain't haunted

I'm just through

I ain't chasing down a memory

I've got better things to do

[Chorus]

I'm setting the table for somebody new

I'm learning to dance with a different tune

I gave it all away

Now I'm saving up my heart

I'm setting the table for somebody new

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh oh-oh

Ready when they come

Oh-oh oh-oh

Ready when they come

[Bridge]

Mama said girl take your time

Don't you hand out your whole sky

Let 'em earn the porch light

Let 'em learn to say goodbye

I'm patient I'm patient

I'm patient as a stone

I'm ready I'm ready

For a love I've never known

[Breakdown]

(Ready when they come)

(Ready when they come)

I'm ready I'm ready

I'm ready

[Chorus]

I'm setting the table for somebody new

I'm learning to dance with a different tune

I gave it all away

Now I'm saving up my heart

I'm setting the table for somebody new

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh oh-oh

Ready when they come

Oh-oh oh-oh

Ready when they come

[Chorus]

I'm setting the table for somebody new

I'm learning to dance with a different tune

I gave it all away

Now I'm saving up my heart

I'm setting the table for somebody new

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh oh-oh

Ready when they come

Oh-oh oh-oh

Ready when they come
