Five Hundred Miles Songtext

von Hoyt Axton

If you miss this train I'm on
Then you'll know that I'm gone
And you can hear the whistle blows a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
Listen, darling, now
Oh, 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
Well I'm five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles is such a long long way
And I feel like I will never reach my home
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go home, well, this ol' way
This ol' way, oh, this ol' way
No no darling no
Lord, I can't go home, well, this ol' way
'Cause if you miss this train I'm on,
Then you'll know that I am gone
And you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
Listen, darling, now
Oh, you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Oh, you can hear the whistle blow, well, a hundred miles
