If you hear the train I m on. You will kn ow that I am g one.

A hundred miles, a hundred miles, A hundred miles, a hun dred miles,
You can hea r the whisle bl ow a hundred miles .
Teardrops fa ll on mama s note . When I rea d the thing she wrote
She said we mi ss you here, we lo ve you, come on hom e

Now I m five hundred mil es away from hom e.
Lord I m one , Lord I m two , Lord I m three, Lord I m four.
Lord I m fiv e hundred mi les away from ho me.
Not a shirt on my back. Not a pe nny to my name
And the la nd that I once left is not my own .
Lord I m one , Lord I m two , Lord I m three, Lord I m four.
Lord I m fiv e hundred mi les away from ho me.
All these y ears and all thes e rules. Never led me back to you
Well I m sti ll a hundred mi les away from home..
Away from h ome, away from home , away from home, awa y from home
Well I m fi ve hundred m iles away from h ome..
