Probably Wouldn't Be This Way

Got a date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says he's crazy; I'll have to seeI finally moved to Jackson when the summer came
I won't have to pay that boy to rake my leavesI'm probably going on and on
It seems I'm doing more of that these daysI 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 never see your face
I probably wouldn't be this wayMama says that I just shouldn't speak to you
Susan says that I should just move onYou ought to see the way these people look at me
When they see me 'round here talking to this stoneEverybody thinks I've lost my mind
But I just take it day by dayI 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 never see your face
I probably wouldn't be this wayI probably wouldn't be this wayGot a date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says I'm crazy
Guess I'll have to see
