Probably Wouldn't Be This Way

(Kidd/Kennedy)
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

I probably wouldn't be this way

I probably wouldn't hurt so bad

I never pictured every minute without you in it

You left so fast

Sometimes I see you standing there

Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch (I feel an angel's touch)

Sometimes I feel like 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 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
