If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I have gone
And I'm 500 miles from my home

A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles

Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
No, I can't go back home this old way

500 miles, 500 miles
500 miles, 500 miles
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I have gone
And I'm 500 miles, 500 miles
I am 500 miles from my home
