She let me down so easy
I hardly felt the blow
saginaw was freezing
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
or was only that 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
i'm just about a mile away
she was deep love buried
and she said she could not stay
me and her got 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 nearly died
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
she's 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 baby
and I'm on my way (just about a mile)
I'm on my way (just about a mile)
I'm on my way (just about a mile away)
I'm 100 miles
I'm 50 miles
I'm 25 miles
I'm just about a mile away
I'm 100 miles
I'm 50 miles
I'm just about a mile away
and I'm comin' back to you baby
and I'm going through tulsa, going through texas
I'm goin' through north dakota
just about a mile away
I'm comin' back to you baby
just about a mile away
a mile away, baby
just about a mile away
I'm just about a mile away now
and I'm comin' on home
I'm comin' on home
I'm comin' on back to you, baby
back to you baby
