I walked 37 miles to lay down by your side
37 miles to lay down by your side
37 miles in the driving rain
Just to lay down by your side again
Ya know you could’ve been a little nicer to me, Jane

For 32 miles, I did not have my hat
For 32 miles, I did not have my hat
I held my coat and I held my cane
But my hat got took by the hurricane
Ya know you could’ve been a little nicer to me, Jane

For 26 miles, I was walking with a limp
For 26 miles, I was walking with a limp
That hurricane would not refrain
The wind picked up and I lost my cane
Ya know you could’ve been a little nicer to me, Jane

For 19 miles, no coat, no shirt, no shoes
For 19 miles, no coat, no shirt, no shoes
I twisted my ankle and my knee got sprained
That’s bound to happen when you hydroplane
Ya know you could’ve been a little nicer to me, Jane

For 11 miles, I’m certain I was numb
For 11 of them miles I am quite certain I was numb
I saw it comin’ like Abel saw Cain
A stone got thrown at the back of my brain
Ya know you could’ve been a little nicer to me, Jane

For the last 2 miles, nothing but a smile
For the last 2 miles, I was wearing nothing but a smile
Until I got to your door and I had to explain
What I was doing there to another man
I ain’t complainin’, baby, I’m just sayin’

Ya know you could’ve been a little nicer to me, Jane
Ya know you could’ve been a little nicer to me, Jane
Ya know you could’ve been a little nicer to me, Jane
Ya know you could’ve been a little nicer to me, Jane
