Just About A Mile Away

She let me down so easy

That I hardly felt the blow

Saginaw was freezing

I headed down to Mexico

Found a job on a fishin' boat

Found a woman found a shack

I raise my glass and I drink a toast

Hey I'm never goin' back

That was a lie

No was that only wishful thinking

I am well outside the border

I am almost at her door

Even though I can't afford her

I can't love her anymore and anyway

I'm just about a mile away

She was deep love buried

And she said she could not stay

Me and her get married

As we blew through Santa Fe

And it was late October

When the other man occured

To love her is to know her

But she's like a hummingbird

I coulda die

Or was that only wishfull thinking

I am well outside the border

I am almost at her door

Even though I can't afford her

I can't love her anymore and anyway

Just about a mile away

Just about a mile away

Just about a mile away

Just about a mile away

Just about a mile away

Anyway I'm just about a mile away

And I'm comin' back to you babe

And I'm on my way

On my way

I'm on my way

I'm a hundred miles

I'm fifty miles

I'm twenty five miles

Im just about a mile away

I'm a hundred miles

I'm fifty miles

I'm just about a mile away

And I'm comin' back to you babe

And im going through Tulsa

I'm going through texas

I'm goin' through north decota

Just about a mile away

Im comin' back to you baby

Just about a mile away

About a mile away

Just about a mile away

Im just about a mile away now

Im goin' on home

Im goin' on home
