Just a little mistake, oh no Now I gotta pay, oh no 'Cause the rumors have been going 'round From a little mistake I can't look them in the eyes no more And I'm haunted by the memory Thinking "what for?" I don't know, I don't know I did my best friend wrong It didn't last too long 'Cause the woman who was coming 'round Was a little mistake Better days were coming Now I'm banished and blamed Take my chances in another town Just a little mistake
But the highway only runs so far God is not about to leave me No matter how far I might go, I might go Now a year's gone by 'Cause I ain't gonna die 'Cause nobody ever comes around From a little mistake (Yeah just a little mistake) I can't look them in the eyes no more And I'm haunted by the memory Thinking "what for?" I don't know, I don't know Just a little mistake From a little mistake From a little mistake
