Just About a Mile Away Lyrics

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
