If you miss 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
From my home

500 miles, 500 miles
500 miles, 500 miles
Lord I'm 500 miles
From my home

Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go home this way
This way, This way
This way, This way
Lord I can't go home this way

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles
