           Am   D7                     G f-e d b g
Oh I'm 500 miles away from home
                 G                                                                    Em
Teardrops fell on mama's note when I read the things she wrote
                   Am                /B  C                               /D-DD /A-DD
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
              G                                                                          Em
Away from home, away from home, cold and tired and all alone
             Am        D7                     G f-e d b g
Yes I'm still 500 miles away from home

I know this is the same road I took on the day I left home
          Am                              C                                      D
But it sure looks different now, I guess I look different too
 /D /C /B /A  /G G
Cause time changes everything, I wonder what they'll say
. . .                                                     Em
When they see their boy looking this way
         Am                         D7                   G           A
Oh I wonder what they'll say when I get home
             D          /A        D    /A        D             /A           Bm    /E
Can't remember when I ate, it's just thumb and walk and wait

And I'm still 500 miles away from home

If my luck had been just right (away from home x4)

I'd be with them all tonight . . but I'm still 5000 miles . . away from home
