500 Miles - Jackie DeShannon

If you miss the train I’m on

You’ll know I have gone

You can hear the whistle blow a 100 miles

A 100 miles, a 100 miles

A 100 miles, a 100 miles

You can hear the whistle blow a 100 miles

Lord, I’m one, Lord, I’m two

Oh Lord I’m three, Lord, I’m four

Good God, I’m 500 miles from my home

500 miles, 500 miles

500 miles, 500 miles

I’m 500 miles, oh, from my home

Not a shirt on my back

I ain’t got a penny to my name

Lord, I can’t go home this a-way

Oh, this a-away, this a-way

This a-way, this a-way

Lord, don’t make me go home this way

So, if you miss the train I’m on

You’ll know that I have gone

You will hear the whistle blow a 100 miles
