Teardrops fell on my mama's note when I read the words she wrote
She said we miss you son we love you come on home
Well I didn't have to pack I was wearin' it on my back
And I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home away from home cold and tired and all alone
Well I'm five hundred miles away from home
[ guitar ]
I can't remember when I ate I just thumb and walk and wait
I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home away from home...
I'm coiming home mama yeah
