500 Miles

Hedy West

1. If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I have gone
You will hear that whistle blow 500 miles

Ch.1. Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
         Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
         You will hear that whistle blow 500 miles

2. Got no shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go back home this away

Ch.2. This away, this away
         This away, this away
         Lord I can't go back home this away

3. Lord I walk in these ties
With tears in my eyes
I'm trying to read a letter from my home

Ch.3. From my home, from my home
         From my home, from my home
         Lord I'm trying to read a letter from my home

4. If this train's running right
I'll be home tomorrow night
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

Ch.4. Away from home, away from home
         Away from home, away from home
         Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
