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 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
  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
