Five-hundred 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.

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

[Repeat first verse.]
