Probably Wouldn't Be This Way

intro ... 2x s


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


I probably wouldn t be this way

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 moments 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 talkin 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 angel s touch

Sometimes I feel that I m so lucky to have had the chance

To love this much

God gave me a moments grace

Cause if I d never seen your face

I probably wouldn t be this way


I probably wouldn t be this way
