Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home
Away from home
Away from home
Well I didn't have to pack
We love you come on home
If my luck had been just right
I'd be with them all tonight
Now I'm five hundred miles
But there's a dream
Away from home
It's just thumb and walk and wait
But I'm still five hundred miles
If mama knew the things I've done
Cold and tired and all alone
Away from home, away from home
I've been following so long
But I'm still five hundred miles
I had it all right on my back
Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Can't remember when I ate
And I'm still five hundred miles
Cold and tired and all alone
It's hard to tell the state I'm in
Lord, I'm still five hundred miles
She said, "We'll miss you girl"
Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home
She'd forgive them everyone
Where I'm going, where I've been
Cold and tired and all alone
Away from home, away from home
Away from home
Away from home, away from home
Away from home
