Five Hundred Miles

Song: Five Hundred Miles Artist: The Brothers Four 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 You can hear the whistle bow 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 home away home Lord I'm five hundred miles Away home Not a shirt on my back Not a penny to my name Lord I can't go back home This away This away this away Lord I can't go back home This away If you miss the train I'm on You will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow A hundred miles According to Wikipedia,The Brothers Four are an American folk group founded in 1957 in Seattle, Washington. Bob Flick, John Paine, Mike Kirkland, and Dick Foley met at the University of Washington, where they were members of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity in 1956 (hence the "Brothers" appellation). Their first professional performances were the result of a prank played on them in 1958 by a rival fraternity, who had arranged for someone to call them, pretend to be from Seattle's Colony Club, and invite them to come down to audition for a gig. Even though they were not expected at the club, they were allowed to sing a few songs anyway, and were subsequently hired. Despite all the changes during the years, the group was still active as of 2007. I like The Brothers Four's songs very much. Try To Remember sung by them is one of my favorites.
