If you miss the train I'm on
You would know that
If you miss the train I'm on
You would 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
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
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Hundred miles, five hundred miles
You can feel the whistle blow five hundred miles
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go home this way, this a-way
This a-way, this a-way
This a-way, this a-way
Lord I can't go home this a-way
If you miss the train I'm on
You would know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
