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 five hundred miles a way from home Away from home, away from home, away from home, away from home Lord, I'm five hundred 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. (Interlude, repeat first verse) You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
