One mile over two miles back

One mile over and two miles back my heart's been crushed like a paper sack
She loves another it's a natural fact one mile over and two miles back

She called me up and told me she was lonely and she needed my company
But she lived pretty far and my brother had a car
And I had to walk all the way and I got to her house
I could see through the windows and I knew she hadn't played fair
For after we had talked and after I had walked someone was already there
And it was one mile over...

My heart fell into little bitty pieces and I picked 'em up off the groung
I put 'em in a sack and I threw it cross my back
And it must've weighed eight thousand pounds
Road back to my house was dark and lonely and I thought it was never gonna end
I called her name and I cried in vain and I counted every step I went
And it was one mile over...
