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 500 miles away from home


Away from home, away from home
Lord, I'm 500 miles away from home


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


This a-way, this a-way
This a-way, this a-way

Lord, I can't go back home this a-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...
