500 Miles Away from Home

500 Miles Away from Home - Midday Sun

I'm 500 miles away from home

Tear drops fell on momma's note

When I read the things she wrote

She said we miss you son

We love you come on home

Well I didn't have to pack

I had it all right on my back

Now I'm 500 miles away from home

Away from home away from home

Cold and tired and all alone

Yes' I'm 500 miles away from home

(Spoken) I know this is the same road

I took the day I left home

But it sure looks different now

And I guess I look different 'too

Cause time changes everything

I wonder what they'll say

When they see their boy looking this bad

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

Can't remember when I ate

It's just thumb' walk and wait

And I'm still 500 miles away from home

If my luck had been just right

I'd be with them all tonight

But I'm still 500 miles away from home

Away from home away from home

Cold and tired and all alone

Yes' I'm still 500 miles away from home

Oh I'm still 500 miles away from home
