[Verse]
D
Teardrops fell on my mama's note
D                         Bm
When I read the words she wrote
            G
She said we miss you son
                      A7
We love you come back home

[Verse]
D
Well I didn't have to pack
D                      Bm
I was wearin' it on my back
        G             A
And I'm five hundred miles
          G F E D
Away from home...

[Chorus]
D
Away from home, away from home
D                      Bm
Cold and tired and all alone
        G            A
Yes I'm five hundred miles
          G F E D
Away from home...

[Verse]
D
I can't remember when I ate
D                         Bm
I just thumb and walk and wait
          G            A
I'm still five hundred miles
          A7
Away from home...

[Verse]
D
If my luck had been just right
D                    Bm
I'd be with my folks tonight
        G            A
But I'm five hundred miles
          G F E D
Away from home...

[Chorus]
D
Away from home, away from home
D                      Bm
Cold and tired and all alone
        G            A
Yes I'm five hundred miles
          G F E D
Away from home...

[Chorus]

Away from home, away from home
D                      Bm
Cold and tired and all alone

Yes I'm five hundred miles

Away from home...
