Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
