if you miss the train i'm on
then you know that i'll be gone
lord i'm 500 miles away from home
lord i'm one, lord i'm two, lord i'm three, lord i'm four
lord i'm 500 miles away from home
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles,
lord i'm 500 miles away from home
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles,
lord i'm 500 miles away from home
ot 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'm 500 miles away from home
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles,
lord i'm 500 miles away from home
