Five Hundred Miles Away From Home

[00:00.47] Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
[00:07.69]
[00:13.93] Teardrops fell on mama's note
[00:18.70] When I read the things she wrote
[00:22.67] She said, "We miss you, son, we love you, come on home"
[00:31.25] Well I didn't have to pack
[00:35.83] I had it all right on my back
[00:40.11] Now I'm five hundred miles away from home
[00:48.75] Away from home, away from home
[00:53.41] Cold and tired and all alone
[00:57.77] Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
[01:05.17]
[01:10.01] I know this is the same road I took the day I left home
[01:14.56] But it sure looks different now
[01:17.49] I guess I look different too
[01:20.39] 'Cause time changes everything
[01:24.77] I wonder what they'll say
[01:26.80] When they see their boy looking this way
[01:32.33] Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home
[01:41.31] Can't remember when I ate
[01:46.11] It's just thumb and walk and wait
[01:50.58] And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
[01:58.70] If my luck had been just right
[02:03.85] I'd be with them all tonight
[02:08.05] But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
[02:16.35] Away from home, away from home
[02:21.05] Cold and tired and all alone
[02:25.48] Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
[02:34.22] Lord, I'm still five hundred miles away from home
[02:41.82]
