I'M FIVE HUN DRED MILES

A WAY FROM HOME

TEAR DROPS FELL

ON MA MA'S NOTE

WHEN I READ

THE THINGS SHE WROTE

SHE SAID

WE MISS YOU SON

WE LOVE YOU

COME ON HOME

WELL I DID N'T

HAVE TO PACK

I HAD IT ALL

RIGHT ON MY BACK

NOW I'M

FIVE HUN DRED MILES

A WAY FROM HOME

A WAY FROM HOME

A WAY FROM HOME

COLD AND TIRED

AND ALL A LONE

YES I'M

FIVE HUN DRED MILES

A WAY FROM HOME

I KNOW

THIS IS THE SAME ROAD

I TOOK THE DAY

I LEFT HOME

BUT IT SURE

LOOKS DIFFERENT NOW

WELL I GUESS

I LOOK DIFFERENT TOO

'CAUSE TIME

CHANGES EVERYTHING

I WONDER

WHAT THEY'LL SAY

WHEN THEY SEE

THEIR BOY

LOOKIN' THIS WAY

OH I WON DER

WHAT THEY'LL SAY

WHEN I GET HOME

CAN'T RE MEM BER

WHEN I ATE

IT'S JUST THUMB

AND WALK AND WAIT

AND I'M STILL

FIVE HUN DRED MILES

A WAY FROM HOME

WELL IF MY LUCK

HAD BEEN JUST RIGHT

I'D BE WITH THEM

ALL TO NIGHT

BUT I'M STILL

FIVE HUN DRED MILES

A WAY FROM HOME

A WAY FROM HOME

A WAY FROM HOME

COLD AND TIRED

AND ALL A LONE

YES I'M STILL

FIVE HUN DRED MILES

A WAY FROM HOME

OH I'M STILL

FIVE HUN DRED MILES

A WAY FROM HOME
