Five Hundred Miles Away From Home Lyrics - Reba Mcentire

(bobby bare, charlie williams, hedy west) 

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 

Chorus: 

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 

Repeat chorus 

Photos 

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 

Repeat chorus 

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