The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm five hundred miles away from home

Teardrops fell on mama's note when I read the things she wrote

She said we miss you son we love you come on home

I didn't even have to pack I had it all right on my back

Now I'm five hundred miles away from home

Away from home away from home cold and tired and all alone

Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home

I know this is the same road I took the day I left home

But it sure looks different now cause 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 it's just thumb and walk and wait

And I'm five hundred miles away from home

If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight

But I'm still five hundred miles away from home

Away from home...

Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home
