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

And 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, baby



Don't we like our fond 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

Somebody 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

Baby, I have failed

Just as long as I stay in Houston

I will
