Five Hundred Miles Away From Home
Bobby Bare and Hedy West (combined)
G
Teardrops fell on mama's note
Em
When I read the things she wrote
Am C D7
She said we miss you son We love you come on home
G
Well I didn't have to pack
Em
I had it all right on my back
D7 C G
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home away from home
Em
Cold and tired and all alone
D7 C G
Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home
Can't remember when I ate
Em
It's just thumb and walk and wait
D7 C G
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
D7 G
If my luck had been just right
Em
I'd be with them all tonight
D7 C G
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
repeat #2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Hedy West)
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
And the land that I once loved is not my own
Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two,
Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
A hundred tanks along the square
One man stands and stops them there
Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free
I'll be free, I'll be free
I'll come home to my country
Someday soon the tide'll turn and I'll be free
I'll be free, I'll be free
I'll come home to my country
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
You can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles
