Five Hundred Miles Away From Home Songtext
von Joe Simon

(Five hundred miles away from home)

Tear drops fell on mama′s note
When I read the things she wrote
She said, "We miss you, son
We love you, come on home", yeah
Well, I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
And I′m five hundred miles away from home, yeah

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home, yeah


Can't remember when I ate
It′s just long walk and wait
And I′m five hundred miles away from home, yeah
If my luck had been just right
And I'd be with them all tonight
And I′m five hundred miles away from home, yeah

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home, yeah
If my luck had been just right
You know I would be with them all tonight, yes I would
(Yes, I′m) I'm five hundred miles away from home, yeah

Yes I am, I′m five hundred miles away from home
(Five hundred miles away from home) I'm five hundred miles away from home
I told you yeah, I'm five hundred miles away from home, let me take it
I know this is the same road I took when I left home (five hundred miles away from home)
But it should look different now
Well, I guess I′d look different too
I′m five hundred miles away from home
Well, I got to make it home, yeah
(Five hundred miles)
