Probably Wouldn't Be This Way lyrics

Got a date a week from Friday with a preacher's son

Everybody says he's crazy, I'll have to see

I finally moved to Jackson when the summer came

I won't have to pay that boy to rake my leaves

I'm probably going on and on

It seems I'm doing more of that these days

I probably wouldn't be this way

I probably wouldn't hurt so bad

I never pictured every minute without you in it

Oh, you left so fast

Sometimes I see you standing there

Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch

Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky

To have had the chance to love this much

God gave me a moment's grace

'Cause if I'd never seen your face

I probably wouldn't be this way

Mama says that I just shouldn't speak to you

Susan says that I should just move on

You oughta see the way these people look at me

When they see me 'round here talking to this stone

Everybody thinks I've lost my mind

But I just take it day by day

I probably wouldn't be this way

I probably wouldn't hurt so bad

I never pictured every minute without you in it

Oh, you left so fast

Sometimes I see you standing there

Sometimes I feel an angels touch

Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky

To have had the chance to love this much

God gave me a moment's grace

'Cause if I'd never seen your face

I probably wouldn't be this way

I probably wouldn't be this way

Got a date a week from Friday with a preacher's son

Everybody says I'm crazy, guess I'll have to see
