500 Miles Away From Home

D7 C G

I'm five hundred miles away from home

G

Teardrops fell on mama's note,

Em

when I read the things she wrote

D7 C D7

She said "We miss you son, we love you, come on home"

G Em

Well I didn't have to pack, I had it all right on my back

D7 C G

Now I'm five hundred miles away from home

Chorus:

G

Away from home, away from home

Em

Cold and tired and all alone

D7 C G

Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home

(Spoken) I know this is the same coat

I took when I left home

But it sure looks different now

And I guess I look different too

But time changes everything

I wonder what they'll say,

When they see their boy lookin' this way

(Sung) Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home

(Change to key of D - D,A7,G,Bm)

Can't remember when I ate, it's just thumb and walk and wait

And I'm still five hundred miles away from home

If my love had been just right, I'd be with them all tonight

But I'm still five hundred miles away from home

Repeat chorus (In Key of G)

Oh, I'm still five hundred miles away from home
