Bobbie Gentry Scarlett Ribbons lyrics

500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME
Bobby Bare

I`m 500 miles away from home
Teardrops fell on momma`s note
When I read the things she wrote
She said we miss you son we love you come on home
Well I didn`t have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I`m 500 miles away from home
Away from home away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I`m 500 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. And I guess I look
different too, cause time changes everything. I wonder what
they`ll say, when they see their boy looking this bad.

Oh I wonder what they`ll say when I get home
Can`t remember when I ate
It`s just thumb and walk and wait
And I`m still 500 miles away from home
If my luck had been just right
I`d be with them all tonight
But I`m 500 miles away from home
Away from home away from home
Oh I`m still 500 miles away from home
