Five Hundred Miles Away From Home

Lyrics:

 
recorded by Bobby Bare
written by Bobby Bare and Charlie Williams 

G
Teardrops fell on mama's note
                           Em
When I read the things she wrote
            Am
She said we miss you son 
   C                D7
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
 
Spoken: 
 
I know this is the same road I took the day I left home
But it sure looks different now
Well I guess I look different too cause time changes everything
I wonder what they'll say when they see their boy looking this way
Oh I wonder what they'll say when I get 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
