500 Miles

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles

A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

Away from home, away from home
Away from home, away from home
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go back home this-a-way

This-a-way, this-a-way
This-a-way, this-a-way
Lord I can't go back home this-a-way

Lord, I'm so far from home
I ain't got a thing to call my home
But I can here that whistle blowing
Though I'm 500 miles from home

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles

You can hear the whistle blow
500 miles
