500 Miles

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

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