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
[CHORUS 1:]
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 give 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
[CHORUS 2:]
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 angel's touch Sometimes I feel like I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much God give me a moment's grace 'Cause if I'd never seen your face I probably wouldn't be this way
Probably wouldn't be this way
