500 Miles (away From Home) Lyrics

(As recorded by Glen Campbell)

 (From the album 'A Satisfied Mind')

 

 If you miss the train I'm on

 You will know that I am gone

 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

 I'm 500 miles away from home

 

 Not a shirt on my back

 Not a penny to my name

 Lord I can't go back this a'way

 This a'way, this a'way, this a'way, this a'way

 Lord I can't go back this a'way

 

 Well, I'm walking these ties,

 With tears in my eyes

 Trying to read a letter from my home

 From my home, from my home, from my home, from my home

 Trying to read a letter from my home

 

 If this train's running right

 I'll be home by Saturday night

 I'm 500 miles away from home

 Away from home, away from home, away from home. away from home

 I'm 500 miles away from home
