[00:01.78]I'm 500 miles away from home
[00:13.78]Tear drops fell on momma's note
[00:18.67]When I read the things she wrote
[00:23.13]She said we miss you son
[00:26.12]We love you come on home
[00:31.11]Well I didn't have to pack
[00:36.71]I had it all right on my back
[00:39.74]Now I'm 500 miles away from home
[00:47.89]
[00:49.34]Away from home away from home
[00:53.38]Cold and tired and all alone
[00:58.36]Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home
[01:04.85]
[01:10.71](Spoken) I know this is the same road
[01:12.28]I took the day I left home
[01:13.59]But it sure looks different now
[01:16.44]And I guess I look different ,too
[01:19.85]Cause time changes everything
[01:23.35]I wonder what they'll say
[01:27.20]When they see their boy looking this bad
[01:30.03]
[01:32.42]Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home
[01:41.84]Can't remember when I ate
[01:46.11]It's just thumb, walk and wait
[01:50.65]And I'm still 500 miles away from home
[01:58.86]If my luck had been just right
[02:03.75]I'd be with them all tonight
[02:08.14]But I'm still 500 miles away from home
[02:15.90]Away from home away from home
[02:21.59]Cold and tired and all alone
[02:25.76]Yes, I'm 500 miles away from home
[02:32.44]
[02:34.37]Oh I'm still 500 miles away from home
