500 Miles Lyrics

If you miss the train I′m on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow one hundred miles.
One hundred miles, one hundred miles, one hundred miles, one hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow one 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.
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles, five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Lord, I′m five hundred 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, Lord, I can′t go a-home this a-way.
