Five Hundred Miles Away from Home

(bobby bare, charlie williams, hedy west)

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

Chorus:
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

Repeat chorus
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

Repeat chorus
Lord, I’m still five hundred miles away from home

wiki:
"500 Miles" (also known as "500 Miles Away from Home" or "Railroaders' Lament") is a folk song made popular in the United States and Europe during the 1960s folk revival. The simple repetitive lyrics offer a lament by a traveler who is far from home, out of money and too ashamed to return. The song is generally credited as being written by Hedy West, while some sources also credit Bobby Bare, Curly Williams, and/or John Phillips as co-writers. West is said to have learned a version of the song as a child from her paternal grandmother Lillie Mulkey West. "500 Miles" is thought to be related to the older folk song, "900 Miles," which may itself have origins in a southern American fiddle tune called "Reuben's Train."

"500 Miles" is West's "most anthologized song." The first release of the song appears to have been on the 1961 self-titled debut by the Journeymen. It charted as a hit single by American country music singer Bobby Bare in 1963.[4] It has also been recorded by Peter, Paul & Mary, The Kingston Trio, Sonny & Cher, The Hooters, Reba McEntire, The Seldom Scene, The Spies of Life and many others.
