If you miss the train I'm on
Dm Dm
You will know that I am gone
G
You can hear the whistle blow
C
A hundred miles
C Am
A hundred miles, A hundred miles
Dm Dm
A hundred miles, A hundred miles
G
You can hear the whistle blow
C
A hundred miles
Got no shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go home this way
This way, This way
This way, This way
Lord I can't go home this way
Lord I'm walking these ties
with tears in my eyes
I'm trying to read a letter
from my home
From my home, from my home
From my home, from my home
Lord I'm trying to read a letter from my home
If this train is running right
I'll be home tomorrow night
Lord I'm 500 Miles away from home
500 miles, 500 miles
500 miles, 500 miles
Lord I'm 500 miles
away from home
