Send "500 Miles Away from Home" Ringtone to Cell

(Bobby Bare - Charlie Williams)

I'm five hundred miles
Away from home
Teardrops fell on mama's note
When I read the things she wrote.

She said we miss you son
We love you come on home
I didn't even have to pack
I had it all right on my back.

Now, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home
Away from home,
Away from home.

Cold and tired
And all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home.

I know this is the same road
I took the day I left home
But it sure looks different now
'Cause I guess I look different too.

'Cause time changes everything
I wonder what they'll say
when they see their boy looking this way
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 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.

Away from home
Away from home,
Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home...
