Five Hundred Miles Away From Home Bobby Bare

 G
Teardrops fell on mama's note
                            Em
When I read the things she wrote
             Am
She said we miss you son
    C                  D7
We love you come on home
        G
Well I didn't have to pack
                          Em
I had it all right on my back
         D7             C               G
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home

Away from home away from home
                        Em
Cold and tired and all alone
         D7             C              G
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
         D7                   C               G
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
 D7      G
If my luck had been just right
                      Em
I'd be with them all tonight
         D7                   C               G
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
