If you miss the train Im on
Then you know that Ill be 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 Im one, lord Im two, lord Im three, lord Im four
Lord Im 500 miles away from home
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles,
Lord Im 500 miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I cant go-a-home this-a-way
This-a-way, this-a-way, this-a-way, this-a-way,
Lord I cant go-a-home this-a-way
