500 Miles Away from Home
I'm 500 miles away from home
Teardrops fell on mamas 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 500 miles away from home
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home
I know this is the same road I took on the day I left home
But it sure looks different now
Then I guess I look different too
'Cause time changes everything
I wonder what they'll say
When they see their boy looking this way
Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home
Can't remember when I ate
It's been thumb and walk and wait
But I'm still 500 miles away from home
But if my luck had been just right (away from home, away from home)
I'd been with them all tonight (away from home, away from home)
Now I'm still 500 miles away from home
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm still 500 miles away from home
You know I'm still 500 miles away from home
Oh, I'm still 500 miles away from home
