"Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" is a song by country singer LeAnn Rimes (born August 28, 1982 in Mississippi ) from her 7th studio album "This Woman" in 2005, which was composed by John Kennedy and Tammi Kidd. She is best known for her rich vocals similar to legendary country music singer Patsy Cline, and her rise to fame at the age of 13, becoming the youngest country music star since Tanya Tucker in 1972.It is generally accepted as a haunting song with a darker tone. Although considered by many to be a break-up song, the lyrics "You oughta see the way these people look at me / When they see me 'round here talking to this stone" suggest the song is actually about the death of a husband/fiance/lover/boyfriend. The video suggests that the person she is refering to was her husband since she's wearing a wedding band and not an engagement ring. In an interview with Biography, LeAnn explains that "the story is of a woman who is mourning the loss of losing her lover and doesn't know if she can move on again from that." The music video was ranked #29 on CMT's 100 Greatest Videos.
