500 Miles Away From Home - Bill Anderson

If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone, you

Can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred

Miles, you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Lord, I’m one, Lord, I’m two, Lord, I’m three, Lord, I’m four

Lord, I’m five hundred miles a way from home

Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home

Lord, I’m five hundred miles away from home

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name.

Lord, I can’t go

Back home this-a way

This-a way, this-a way, this-a way, this-a way, Lord, I can’t go

Back home this-a way.

(Interlude, repeat first verse)

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
