If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
a hundred miles
If you missed 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
Away from home, away from home,
Away from home, away from home
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 whole way
this whole way, this whole way,
this whole way, this whole way,
Lord, I can't go back home
this whole way
If you missed the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
a hundred miles
