500 Miles

If you miss the train i'm on
Then you know that i'll be 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 home
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles,
Lord i'm 500 miles away from 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-way, this-a-way, this-a-way, this-a-way,
Lord i can't go-a-home this-a-way
