G
Teardrops fell on mama's note
Em
When I read the things she wrote
Am
She said we miss you son
CD7
We love you come on home
G
Well I didn't have to pack
Em
I had it all right on my back
D7CG
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home away from home
Em
Cold and tired and all alone
D7CG
Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home
Spoken:
I know this is the same road I took the day I left home
But it sure looks different now
Well I guess I look different too cause time changes everything
I wonder what they'll say when they see their boy looking this way
Oh I wonder what they'll say when I get home
Can't remember when I ate
Em
It's just thumb and walk and wait
D7CG
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
D7G
If my luck had been just right
Em
I'd be with them all tonight
D7CG
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
Repeat #2
Shhh...
