She let me down so easy
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
That was 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
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 wishful thinking

I am well outside the border
Comin' back to you
