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,
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,
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 never saw 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
