Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
