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
