| 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 five hundred miles away from home
|
| 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
|
| Away from home, away from home
|
| Cold and tired and all alone
|
| Yes, I’m five hundred miles away from home
|
| 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
|
| Away from home, away from home
|
| Cold and tired and all alone
|
| Yes, I’m five hundred miles away from home
|
| Lord, I’m still five hundred miles away from home |
