If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone. You will know that I am gone. You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles. You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. Lord, I'm one. Lord, I'm two. Lord, I'm three. Lord, I'm four. Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home. Five hundred miles, five hundred miles, five hundred miles, five hundred miles. Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home. Not a shirt on my back. Not a baby to my name. Lord, I can't go home this old way. This old way, this old way, this old way, this old way. Lord, I can't go home this old way. If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone. You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
