Five Hundred Miles Lyrics

If you miss the train I'm on,
You will know that I have gone,
You can 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 a way from home.
Tear drops fell on mama's note
When I read the things she wrote
She said, we love you son
We miss you come on home
Well I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home
While I'am walking these tracks
With tears are in my eyes
Trying real harder from my home

If this train is running right
I will be home tomorrow night
But I'm five hundred miles
Away from home
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You could hear a wistle blow
A hundred miles
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.
