Miles Away from Home

Miles Away from Home - Bill Anderson

I'm five hundred miles away from home

Teardrops fell on mama's note

When I read the things she wrote

She said we miss you son

We love you come on home

I didn't even have to pack

I had it all right on my back

Now I'm five hundred miles away from home

Away from home away from home

Cold and tired and all alone

Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home

I know this is the same road

I took the day I left home

But it sure looks different now

'Cause I guess I look different too

'Cause time changes everything

I wonder what they'll say

When they see their boy looking this way

Oh I wonder what they'll say when I get home

Can't remember when I ate

It's just thumb and walk and wait

And I'm 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

Away from home away from home

Cold and tired and all alone

Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home

Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home

Yes I'm five hundred
