500 Miles
If you miss the train I'm on
You'll know I have gone
You can hear the whistle blow a 100 miles
A 100 miles, a 100 miles
A 100 miles, a 100 miles
You can hear the whistle blow a 100 miles
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two
Oh Lord I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Good God, I'm 500 miles from my home
500 miles, 500 miles
500 miles, 500 miles
I'm 500 miles, oh, from my home
Not a shirt on my back
I ain't got a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go home this a-way
Oh, this a-away, this a-way
This a-way, this a-way
Lord, don't make me go home this way
So, if you miss this train I'm on
You'll know that I have gone
You will hear the whistle blow a 100 miles
You'll know I have gone
You can hear the whistle blow a 100 miles
A 100 miles, a 100 miles
A 100 miles, a 100 miles
You can hear the whistle blow a 100 miles
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two
Oh Lord I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Good God, I'm 500 miles from my home
500 miles, 500 miles
500 miles, 500 miles
I'm 500 miles, oh, from my home
Not a shirt on my back
I ain't got a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go home this a-way
Oh, this a-away, this a-way
This a-way, this a-way
Lord, don't make me go home this way
So, if you miss this train I'm on
You'll know that I have gone
You will hear the whistle blow a 100 miles
