now I am twenty thousand miles away from home and cannot come back home this ole way.
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home Away from home,
Away from home Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go back home this ole way
This ole way, this ole way
This ole way, this ole way
Lord, I can't go back home this this ole way
