Got a dusty neck and a bent back low Feel the heat rise up off the red dog road Up ahead's just more of the road not showin' That's a hundred miles that I'm going It's a long way up and a long way back Ain't no shortcut and no sidetrack And it ain't one sign of a shade tree growing That's a hundred miles that I'm going That's a hundred miles to get back to you Been a hundred years, maybe two I see the road stretch out for the old home place I see a glad tear standing on grandma's face Gonna get some love and a big hello in That's a hundred miles that I'm going Got a dusty neck and a bent back low Feel the heat rise up off the red dog road And up ahead's just more of the road not showing That's a hundred miles that I'm going

Tear drops fell on mama's note When I read the things she wrote She said, we miss you girl We love you come on home Well I didn't have to pack I had it all right on my back Now I'm five hundred miles away from home Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home It's hard to tell the state I'm in Where I'm going, where I've been But there's a dream I've been following so long If mama knew the things I've done She'd forgive them everyone But I'm still five hundred miles away from home Can't remember when I ate it's just thumb and walk and wait And I'm still five hundred miles away from home If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
