    The song describes a man who has left home with nothing but what he carried on his back, and is now 500 miles away from home. As he counts each mile, he reflects on missing the train that would have taken him back home. He thinks of his mother reading the letter he wrote, and her saying they miss and love him. Though he wants to return home, he has no clothes, money or way to get back from so far away.

    If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone

    Teardrops fell on Mama’s coat, when she read the things you wrote,
    G G C C
    she said we miss you and we love you come on home
    C Am Dm F
    Well I didn't have to pack, I had it all right on my back,
    G G C C
    now I’m five hundred miles away from home
    C Am Dm F
    Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord I’m three, Lord I’m four
    G G C C
    Lord, I'm five hundred miles a way from home.
    C Am Dm F
    All these years and all these rules, never led me back to you
    G G C C
    I’m always five hundred miles away from home
    C Am Dm F
    Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
    G G C C
    Lord, I can't go back home this-a way.
    C Am Dm F
    This-a way, this-a way, this a-way, this a-way
    G G C C
    Lord, I can't go back home this-a way. …..(Repeat Chorus)
