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
