Five Hundred Miles Lyrics

If you miss the train I'm on you will know that I am gone
You will hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

A hundred miles a hundred miles a hundred miles a hundred miles
You will 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 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 a way

This a way This a way
This a way This a way
Lord I can't go back home this a way

Lord I'm one Lord I'm two Lord I'm three Lord I'm four
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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
