500 Miles

Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four, Lord, I'm five, five hundred miles from my home.

500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles

Lord, I'm 500 miles from my home

Shackled on my back, not a penny to my name

Lord, I can't go on this way

This-a-way, this-a-way, this-a-way, this-a-way

Lord, I can't go-a-home, this-a-way

"Meets the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone, you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles."
