Five Hundred Miles

If you missed 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



[Instrumental]



Not a shirt on my back

Not a penny to my name

Lord, I can't go back home this ole way



This ole way, this ole way,

This ole way, this ole way,

Lord, I can't go back home this this ole way



If you missed 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

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
