Gene Vincent - 500 Miles Lyrics

Gene Vincent Lyrics

"500 Miles"

Well, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Lord, I know this is the same road I took the day I left home you see
But it sure looks different now Lord I guess I look different too
'Cause you see time, time changes everything
And I wonder what they'll say when they see their boy looking this way
I wonder what they'll say when I get home

Teardrops fell on Mama's note when I read the things she wrote
She said I love you son and miss you come on home
I didn't even have to pack I had my clothes right on my back
'Cause I'm five hundred miles away from home

Away from home away from home cold and tired and all alone
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home

Play it son!

Can't remember when I ate I just thumbed and walked and waited
And I'm five hundred miles away from home
If my luck it'd been just right Lord I'd be with them all tonight
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home

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