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 500 miles away from my home.

away from my home
away from my home
away from my home
away from my home

Lord I'm five hundred miles from my home.

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

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

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