Nothing Like a Hundred Miles

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, baby

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 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

I have tried to forget about you
And baby, I have failed
But just as long as I stay in Houston, I will
