500 miles Away From Home - Gene Vincent

500 miles Away From Home ( 1970) Written by: Bobby Bare/Charlie Williams) Lyrics: Well I’m five hundred miles away from home Lord I know this is the same road I took the day I left home you see But it sure looks different now Lord I guess I look different too Cause you see time, time changes everything And I wonder what they’ll say when they see their boy looking this way I wonder what they’ll say when I get home Teardrops fell on Mama’s note when I read the things she wrote She said I love you son and miss you come on home I didn’t even have to pack I had my clothes right on my back Coz I’m five hundred miles away from home Away from home away from home cold and tired and all alone Lord I’m five hundred miles away from home Play it son! Can’t remember when I ate I just thumbed and walked and waited And I’m five hundred miles away from home If my luck it’d been just right Lord I’d be with them all tonight And I’m still five hundred miles away from home Five hundred miles, five hundred miles, five hundred miles Lord I’m five hundred miles away from home
