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 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. My heart fell into little bitty pieces and I picked 'em up off the ground 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 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...
