I was raised by two loving folks
Raised me right, taught me how to be a man
But now they're gone and left me all alone
And I ain't got no place to call my home
I got time to tell you about this girl I loved
She was fine, gave me lovin' all the time
But I left that girl to travel this road
Now I'm five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles and the loneliness won't leave me alone
Five hundred miles from my home
I lit out of towns and I never did look back
Loved them girls and I headed down the track
But my times grown short and mind's began to roam
And I'm five hundred miles from home
Five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles and the loneliness won't leave me alone
Five hundred miles from my home
Now my body has took to shaking, my legs can't seem to stand
There's a hole in my soul where there used to be a man
The old home place sure sure sounds good tonight
But, I'm five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles and the loneliness won't leave me alone
Five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles and the loneliness won't leave me alone
