Five Hundred Miles Away from Home Lyrics

Five Hundred Miles Away from Home Song Lyrics

Teardrops fell on moma'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 five hundred miles away from home
Chorus:
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred 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 five hundred miles away from home
Chorus:
Can't remember when I ate it's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
Chorus:
(Bobby Bare, Charlie Williams, Hedy West)
