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 from my home

Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home

Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go home
This way
This way
This way
This way
This way
Lord, I can't go home this way

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