[D] [E] [G] [Am] I'm [D] 500 miles away [G] from home
Teardrops fell on Mama's note
When I read the thing [Em] she wrote
She [Am] said, we missed you son, [C] we love you, come [D] on home
Well [G] I didn't have to fight
I had it all right
[E]
[Am] [D]
Away [G] from home
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all [Em]
alone
Yes [Am] I'm 500 [D]
miles away [G] from home
I know this is the same road I took the day I left home
[Em]
But it sure looks different [Am] now
Well I guess I look [C] different too
[D] As time changes everything
[G] I wonder what they'll say
When they see their boy looking this way
Oh [Em]
[Am] I wonder what [D] they'll say [G] when I get home
[A]
Can't [D] remember when I ate
It's just thumb and walking [Bm]
away
And [Em] I'm still 500 [G]
miles away [A] from home
If [D] my luck had been just right
I'd be with them all [Bm] tonight
But [Em] I'm still 500 [A]
miles away [D] from home
Away [G] from home, away from home
Cold and tired and [Em] all alone
Yes [Am] I'm still 500 [D]
miles away [G] from home
Oh [C] I'm still 500 miles
[N]
