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
Away from home
Five Hundred Miles
Five Hundred Miles
Five Hundred Miles
Five Hundred Miles
 

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 away
This away
This away
This away
This away
Lord, I can't go back home this away

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles
