Five Hundred Miles Away From Home (Album Version)

Tear drops fell on mama's note
When I read the things she wrote
She said we miss you girl
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
It's hard to tell the state I'm in
Where I'm going where I've been
But there's a dream I've been following so long
If mama knew the things I've done
She'd forgive them everyone
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 five hundred miles away from 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
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 five hundred miles away from home
Lord I'm still five hundred miles away from home
