I have tried to forget about you and all the plans that we had planned.

Yes, and I'm bound to leave this town, I don't care where I may land.



If what they're telling me is true, you have found somebody new to love you.

There ain't but one thing I can do, baby,

to save my heart from being broken in two by you, baby, I'm moving through.



There's nothing like a hundred miles between me and trouble in my mind.

There's nothing like a hundred miles, show me the yellow line.

There's nothing like a hundred miles when I'm only passing through.

There's nothing like a hundred miles to make me forget about you, forget about you.



Now don't we like our found farewells.

And don't we like to keep our good-byes nice and clean.

You may wish I'd go to hell while you tell me what a pleasure it's been,

so long, baby, I'm moving on.



There's nothing like a hundred miles between me and trouble in mind.

There's nothing like a hundred miles, show me the yellow line.

There's nothing like a hundred miles when I'm only passing through.

There's nothing like a hundred miles to make me forget about you, forget about you.



I have tried to forget about you. And baby, I have failed.

But just as long as I stay in Houston, I will.
