Five Hundred Miles Away From Home - Reba McEntire

Tear drops fell on mama’s note

When I read the things she wrote

She said, we miss you girl

We love you come on home

Well I didn’t 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

It’s hard to tell the state I’m in

Where I’m going, where I’ve been

But there’s a dream I’ve been following so long

If mama knew the things I’ve done

She’d forgive them everyone

But I’m still 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

Can’t remember when I ate

It’s just thumb and walk and wait

And 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 still 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

Lord, I’m still five hundred miles away from home
