This one isn't mine, originally: all writing props go to Hedy West. I don't feel right charging for it.

lyrics

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
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 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 way
this way
this way
lord, i can't go back home this way
