Sides face grand square *Teardrops fell on Mama's note When I read the things she wrote She said "we miss you, son, we love you" Come on home, allemande left and weave the ring **Well, I didn't have to pack I had it all right on my back Now I'm 500 miles Away from home

If you miss the train I'm on You will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow 100 miles
**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
Can't remember when I ate It's just thumbing, walking, wait And it's still 500 miles Away from home
**If my luck had just been right I'd been home with them tonight But I'm 500 miles Away from home

Lyrics |
If you missed 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
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
And the land that I once loved is not my own
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
A hundred tanks along the square, one man stands and stops them there
Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free
Well I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country
Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free
If you missed the train I'm on, you will know that I am 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 away from home
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home, yea
Well I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
You can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
