If you miss the train I'm on
Then you know that I'll be gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred milesa hundred miles
A hundred miles a hundred miles
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 500 miles away from home
500 miles 500 miles 500 miles 500 miles
Lord I'm 500 miles away from home

Not 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 can't go-a-home this-a-way
