Lyrics

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 from my home

500 miles, 500 miles
500 miles, 500 miles
Lord, I'm 500 miles from my home

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

This away, this away
This away, this away
Lord, I can't go home, this away

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