It means that even a mile away, someone could recognize that this person is a windmill. It's a reference to Don Quijote who thought he was fighting dragons when in fact he was just fighting windmills.

Unpanted Lord it's late but this song is about a person who talks about saving lives, helping the poor, etc. while putting on a weak facade to garnish attention. Upon dying instead of going to heaven he ends up in hell with the other scoundrels who actually do in fact know him.
