I'M FIVE HUNDRED MILES
AWAY FROM HOME
TEARDROPS FELL
ON MAMA'S NOTE
WHEN I READ
THE THINGS SHE WROTE
SHE SAID
WE MISS YOU SON
WE LOVE YOU
COME ON HOME
WELL I DIDN'T
HAVE TO PACK
I HAD IT ALL
RIGHT ON MY BACK
NOW I'M
FIVE HUNDRED MILES
AWAY FROM HOME
AWAY FROM HOME
AWAY FROM HOME
COLD AND TIRED
AND ALL ALONE
YES I'M
FIVE HUNDRED MILES
AWAY FROM HOME
I KNOW
THIS IS THE SAME ROAD
I TOOK THE DAY
I LEFT HOME
BUT IT SURE
LOOKS DIFFERENT NOW
WELL I GUESS
I LOOK DIFFERENT TOO
'CAUSE TIME
CHANGES EVERYTHING
I WONDER
WHAT THEY'LL SAY
WHEN THEY SEE
THEIR BOY
LOOKIN' THIS WAY
OH I WONDER
WHAT THEY'LL SAY
WHEN I GET HOME
CAN'T REMEMBER
WHEN I ATE
IT'S JUST THUMB
AND WALK AND WAIT
AND I'M STILL
FIVE HUNDRED MILES
AWAY FROM HOME
WELL IF MY LUCK
HAD BEEN JUST RIGHT
I'D BE WITH THEM
ALL TONIGHT
BUT I'M STILL
FIVE HUNDRED MILES
AWAY FROM HOME
AWAY FROM HOME
AWAY FROM HOME
COLD AND TIRED
AND ALL ALONE
YES I'M STILL
FIVE HUNDRED MILES
AWAY FROM HOME
OH I'M STILL
FIVE HUNDRED MILES
AWAY FROM HOME
