Five Hundred Miles Away From Home Lyrics

Tear drops fell on mama′s note
When I read the things she wrote
She said, we miss you girl
We love you, come on home
Well, I didn't have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I′m 500 miles away from home

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home

It's hard to tell the state I′m in
Where I′m going, where I've been
But there′s a dream I've been following so long
If mama knew the things I′ve done
She'd forgive them everyone
But I′m still 500 miles away from home

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home

Can't remember when I ate, it′s just thumb and walk and wait
And I′m still 500 miles away from home
If my luck had been just right, I'd be with them all tonight
But I′m still 500 miles away from home

Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home
Lord, I′m still 500 miles away from home
