500 Miles

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles A hundred miles, a hundred miles You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name And the land that I once loved was not my own Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home A hundred tanks along the square One man stands and stops them there Some day soon, the tide will turn, and I'll be free I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country Some day soon the tide will turn and I'll be free If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll come home to my country Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home You can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
