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,
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.
Five hundred miles, Five hundred miles,
Five hundred miles, Five hundred miles,
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 away, this away,
this away, this away,
this away.
Lord I can't go back home,
this away.

If you miss the train I'm on.
You will know that I am gone.
You can hear the whistle blow.
A hundred miles.
