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 500 miles away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Lord, I'm 500 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 way
This away
This away
This away
This away
Lord, I can't go back home this away
[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
