I Probably Wouldn´t Be This Way

Got a date a week from Friday with the 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

Mama says that I just shouldn´t speak to you
Susan says that I should just move on
You ought to 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

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
