Nothing Like A Hundred Miles - Ray Charles Songtext
von James Taylor

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

Don′t we like our fond farewells
And don't we like to keep our goodbyes 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
And just as long as I stay in Houston
I will
