Intro

Verse 1

 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 gave me a moment's grace

 'Cause if I'd never seen your face

 I probably wouldn't be this way

Verse 2

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 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

 Probably wouldn't be this way
