Hoyt Axton - Five Hundred Miles lyrics

If you miss this train I'm on, then you'll know that I am gone And you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles, listen that I'm now All 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 Well I'm five hundred miles from my home Five hundred miles, five hundred miles, it's such a long long way And I feel like I will never reach my home Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name Lord I can't go home away this ol' way This ol' way, this ole way, Lord I haven't known Lord I can't go home away, this ol' way Because if you miss this train I'm on, then you know that I am gone And you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles, listen that I'm now All you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles All you can hear the whistle blow well a hundred miles
