if you miss the train i’m on 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
not a shirt on my back not a penny to my name
and the land that i once loved was not my own
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
a hundred tanks along the square
one man stands and stops them there
some day soon the tide will turn and i’ll be free
i’ll be free i’ll be free i’ll come home to my country
some day soon the tide will turn and i’ll be free
if you miss the train i’m on you will know that i am gone
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 away from home
lord i’m five hundred miles away from home
i’ll be free i’ll be free i’ll come home to my country
lord i’m five hundred miles away from home
uhuhuhuhuhuh uhuhuhuhuh
you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
lord i’m five hundred miles away from home
